Jollibee, the flagship brand of Jollibee Group, continues its strong growth across Southeast Asia, recording robust sales performance and store expansion in key markets in the region.
The brand achieved a 27.8 percent systemwide sales growth across its Southeast Asia operations outside the Philippines, including Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei and store expansion in key markets in the region in the first quarter of 2025.
Jollibee’s strong showing in Southeast Asia contributed significantly to Jollibee Group’s third consecutive year of record performance in 2024.
The brand opened 51 new stores in the region in 2024, including its 200th store in Vietnam, reflecting Jollibee’s commitment to bringing the joy of eating to the region’s most dynamic quick-service restaurant (QSR) markets.
“We are grateful for our consumers’ love for Jollibee, which reflects the strength of our flagship brand and the appeal of our offerings in different markets,” said Ernesto Tanmantiong, global president and chief executive of the Jollibee Group.
“Our continued strong growth across our international markets, particularly Southeast Asia, is a testament to the hard work of our team and commitment to our five-year strategy of tripling attributable net income.”
The brand’s continuous effort to build relevance and resonance with local customers has resulted in strong local patronage across all Southeast Asian markets.
In Vietnam where Jollibee now operates more than 200 stores, nearly all customers are Vietnamese.
In Brunei, Jollibee has established a leading position as the market leader in the QSR category, with virtually all customers also being local Bruneians.
The brand is also experiencing strong community patronage in Singapore and Malaysia, where the majority of its consumers are locals.
Another key driver of Jollibee’s success in the region is the taste superiority of its products, especially the brand’s world-famous Chickenjoy fried chicken — recognized by global platforms such as USA Today as the “Best Fried Chicken” and lauded by renowned publications including Eater.com, Yahoo! and South China Morning Post. The brand’s Spicy Chickenjoy also continues to make waves, with many local consumers in Singapore and Malaysia praising its uniquely spicy kick compared to the competition.
Beyond its fan-favorite bestsellers, Jollibee’s success has also been fueled by its ability to introduce locally resonant menu innovations, including Chili Chicken in Vietnam and the Spicy Spaghetti in Malaysia, which have been well-received by local consumers.
“Our commitment to delivering superior taste has fueled our growth in Southeast Asia, and we’re grateful to have passionate franchisees and partners who share in this mission,” said Dennis Flores, president of Jollibee Europe, Middle East, Asia and Australia.
“We are excited to strengthen these relationships, while also seeking new franchisees for new markets as we bring the joy of superior taste to more customers around the world.”
Riding on this momentum, Jollibee will continue its store network expansion across Southeast Asia, contributing to the global food company’s mid-term goal of tripling its business in five years.
This ongoing expansion reinforces Southeast Asia’s critical role in Jollibee Group’s global growth strategy, as the company continues its commitment to spreading joy through superior taste through global expansion, combining strong brand equity, product excellence and operational agility.
