MANILA, Philippines — Homegrown fast-food giant Jollibee Foods Corp. (JFC) is getting a taste of global recognition as its aggressive overseas push continues to pay off.
The Jollibee Group was named Global Growth Champion at the inaugural Globie Awards of the Global Restaurant Leadership Conference, beating 11 other brand nominees. It secured more than 74 percent of votes from the awards’ advisory panel.
The recognition comes as Jollibee grows well beyond its Philippine roots. The group now operates more than 10,700 stores and cafés across 33 countries, with a portfolio spanning 20 brands across owned, franchised and invested businesses.
