Jollibee sets foot on London’s West End
From its humble beginnings in the Philippines, Jollibee has indeed gone global with its several branches across the globe.
For instance, its newest international branch has just opened at the iconic Leicester Square in London’s West End, so Filipinos in the theater district will not be homesick for their Chickenjoy anymore.

Many people lined up during its opening day, and Philippine Ambassador to the United Kingdom Antonio M. Lagdameo and his wife Linda Floirendo Lagdameo led the ribbon-cutting.
Menu includes favorite classics and exclusive burgers
Filipinos missing a piece of home can enjoy classic Jollibee Chickenjoy, Yumburger, and Jolly Spaghetti, to name a few, at the West End store.

Their menu also includes an exclusive burger flavor not offered in the Philippines – the Tropical Chicken Burger. It’s composed of a brioche bun with fried chicken breast, pineapple, cheese, lettuce, and Asian ginger chili sauce that will surely remind Filipinos in the UK of the summers spent on our famous beaches.

Filipinos and locals are all welcome to dine in at the fast-food store, open every day from 10AM-10PM.
