The world’s premier independent brand valuation firm, Brand Finance, has released its annual brand ranking study, which ranks Jollibee as the second fastest-growing restaurant brand globally. In the current year’s Global Restaurant Rankings, Jollibee jumped from position 20 to rank 17, demonstrating an incredible 51% increase in brand value to USD 2.3 billion.

By placing fifth in the strongest restaurant brand category, the brand significantly strengthened its position and increased its grade from AA- to AAA.

Strong Brand Love for Jollibee

The brand has recently marked a significant milestone by inaugurating its 100th store in North America, with the first customer lining up for 20 hours before the store opening.

Massive crowds have been waiting in line for extended periods of time—some camping out the night before or enduring freezing temperatures—to be the first to sample Jollibee’s famous crispy and juicy fried chicken, known as Jolly Crispy Chicken in North America and Chickenjoy in the Philippines and other markets. This fervent display of brand love has been consistent across store openings in new markets. In markets around Asia, Europe, and North America, this best-selling product has been chosen as a fan favorite.


Brand Love Across Geographies and Generations. The support of loyal customers across generations and locations has solidified Jollibee’s position as a well-loved global restaurant brand.
 

Other best-sellers that win over people to Jollibee’s faithful following are the Peach Mango Pie, which is constructed with peaches and Philippine mangoes nestled in a warm, crispy crust, and the Chicken Sandwich, which is a crispy, juicy chicken breast fillet with umami mayo in a toasted brioche bun.
