Global restaurant sensation, Jollibee is bringing its signature brand of joy to Philadelphia and officially establishing the brand’s first location in the state of Pennsylvania.

On September 2, 2022, Jollibee will swing open its doors at 7340 Bustleton Avenue and invites all hungry Philadelphians to come experience what sets Jollibee apart from its competitors – extraordinary menu offerings and friendly customer service. Widely revered for its delectable Chickenjoy bone-in fried chicken, Chicken Sandwiches, and iconic Peach Mango Pies, the brand is bounding towards its ambitious goal to become one of the world’s top-five restaurant chains. As a testament to its delicious offerings, international food website Eater.com (Vox Media) recently named Jollibee “the best chain fried chicken in America” after its Chickenjoy bested 14 global brands in four rounds of contests.

For those planning to visit Jollibee’s first location in Philadelphia, here’s everything you need to know:

Address: 7340 Bustleton Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19149
Hours of Operation: 9AM – 11PM, seven days a week.
How To Order: At this time, customers can dine at the restaurant beginning on opening day or pick up their orders to go. There will be drive-thru service, providing visitors the ultimate convenience.

“What a joy it is to finally be able to say we are open and ready to serve the people of Philadelphia,” said Maribeth Dela Cruz, President, Jollibee North America. “We heard our fans loud and clear and know that this market has been waiting a long time for their very own Jollibee. The city of Philadelphia is ripe with American history, the location of many “firsts” for this country, and now home to the first Jollibee in Pennsylvania. Expanding to new markets across America and being welcomed in new cities is always an honor for our brand and Philadelphia is no exception.”

Whether you have dined at Jollibee before or are trying it for the very first time, here is the rundown of “must-try” menu items:

• Chickenjoy: Jollibee’s signature fried-chicken. Each piece is delicately hand-breaded to be crispy on the outside, cooked with precision to be juicy on the inside, and marinated to the bone for next-level flavor.
• Spicy Chickenjoy: Another top seller is Spicy Chickenjoy, which is the fiery version of the classic Chickenjoy.
• Chicken Sandwich: This sandwich features a crispy, juicy chicken breast fillet, spread with umami mayo, and served on a toasted brioche bun. Find out why this newly launched sandwich has been lauded for its “intense crunch” by The Takeout, and discover how the umami flavor profile and signature Jollibee seasonings meld together to create a perfect chicken sandwich offering.
• Spicy Chicken Sandwich: A spicy version of the original chicken sandwich features sriracha mayo and fresh jalapeños for added crunch and heat.
• Peach Mango Pie: Make sure to leave room for this mouth-watering dessert made with peaches and real Philippine mangoes enveloped in a light and crispy crust.

Jollibee is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down and is opening its 85th restaurant in North America right on the heels of its Times Square flagship location, which opened on August 18, 2022. Earlier this summer, Jollibee added two more notable locations to its East Coast footprint: Alexandria, VA – its first in Northern Virginia, which opened on June 26; and Jamaica Queens, NY – its second in the famed New York City borough, which opened on July 21. Make sure to keep an eye out as Jollibee continues expanding to several new U.S. markets in the coming months, including sunny Orlando, Florida.

Jollibee has more than 1,500 restaurants across 17 countries and is quickly expanding across North America.
