Founder The Idea Start World Wide
Tony Tan Caktiong opened a family business before having an
idea of opening Jollibee in 1975.
His family business was an ice cream parlor. As time goes they
started offering hot meals and sandwiches upon the customer’s
request. When the food items become more popular than ice
cream the family decided to convert the ice cream parlor into a
fast restaurant which become the first Jollibee outlet in 1978.
Management consultant Manuel C. Lumba advised the family on
the change of strategy. Initially Jollibee named “Jolibe” but,
changed its name to “Jollibee”.
The company that would be managing the chain of fast food,
Jollibee Foods Corporation was incorporated in January 1978. By
the end of that year, there were seven branches in Metro Manila.
The first franchised outlet of Jollibee opened in Santa Cruz,
Manila in 1979.
Jollibee experienced a rapid growth. It was able to withstand the
entry of Mcdonald’s in the Philippines in 1981 by focusing on the
specific tastes of the Filipino market, which differed from the
American fast food company. The first Jollibee store overseas
opened in Taiwan in 1986 which is now closed. Jollibee continued
to expand and set up outlets both within country and abroad. Mr
Tan Caktiong, the son of poor Chinese immigrants, is now a
billionaire.
