U.S. Growth Highlights Include New Jollibee Store Openings and Chickenjoy’s #1 Ranking
WEST COVINA, US – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 September 2025 – Jollibee Foods Corporation (PSE: JFC), also known as Jollibee Group and one of the largest Asian food service companies, recently reported its financial results of operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, based on its Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
In the United States, the company’s flagship brand, Jollibee, continued its rapid expansion, strengthening its presence in key metropolitan areas and driving brand affinity among both Filipino-American communities and mainstream consumers. The brand also celebrated a milestone as its flagship product, Jollibee Chickenjoy fried chicken, was ranked #1 on USA Today’s 10Best Fast Food Fried Chicken list for the second consecutive year.
Jollibee Group Chief Executive Officer, Ernesto Tanmantiong gave the following statement on the Jollibee Group’s performance for the second quarter:
“The Jollibee Group delivered strong financial results for the second quarter, with both revenue and profit growth accelerating compared to the first quarter – reflecting our continued business momentum and improved operational execution.
In the U.S. market, Jollibee Chickenjoy and our Coffee and Tea portfolio remain powerful growth drivers, building brand love among diverse consumer groups. Smashburger also continues its path toward stronger performance through operational enhancements, franchising, and menu innovation.
On a year-on-year basis, our consolidated revenues rose by 15.5%, driving a 19.1% growth in operating income. This growth reflects the strength of our Coffee and Tea segment and sustained contributions from Jollibee International, which includes North America, underscoring the effectiveness of our multi-brand and muti-market strategy.
The Jollibee Group achieved a record-high system-wide sales (SWS) of Php114.5 billion (approximately US$2.035 billion) for the quarter, marking a 19.6% increase year-on-year. Our international business delivered a robust 32.6% growth in SWS, fueled by a 68.8% surge in the Coffee and Tea segment, largely driven by Compose Coffee which accounted for 56.6% of the growth. Jollibee international continued its strong momentum, with SWS increasing by 15.4% versus the same quarter last year.
I am pleased to share that our Jollibee Chickenjoy has once again secured the #1 spot in USA Today’s 10Best Fast Food Fried Chicken list for the second consecutive year—a milestone that reflects our growing brand love and the passion of our teams in the U.S. and around the world.
My sincere thanks to our teams for their unwavering commitment and exceptional effort. I look forward to building on this momentum as we continue to pursue excellence across all markets.”

Jollibee Group Chief Financial and Risk Officer, Richard Shin gave the following statement:
“Our strong operating results this quarter reflect not only the positive impact of our strategic acquisition but also the underlying resilience of our business. Disciplined execution of both our cost optimization initiatives and portfolio innovation efforts helped stimulate growth and profitability. The expansion in operating margin and earnings underscores the effectiveness of our strategy.
I am particularly pleased with the successful expansion of our international business, which is now making a meaningful contribution to the overall performance.
- Jollibee international is delivering strong growth despite softness in the broader US market.
- The Coffee and Tea segment continues its upward trajectory, emerging as one of the fastest-growing segments. Expansion across key geographies is driving incremental revenue and margin enhancement.
- Compose Coffee is set to surpass 3,000 stores and remains on track to deliver a 36% Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) in 2025, demonstrating the value-creating potential of this acquisition.
- Smashburger has a clearly defined path toward improving financial performance, supported by operational improvements, product innovations and conversion of company-owned stores to franchised stores.
- China is showing early signs of recovery, marking a potential turnaround in performance.
Our strategic shift toward franchising, combined with disciplined capital allocation, is enhancing asset efficiency and ROIC. Today 69% of our stores operate under a franchised model, reflecting our ongoing transition to a more capital-light structure.
We also continue to deploy capital expenditures selectively, with a focus on supporting the growth in the U.S., Philippines, Jollibee international and coffee and tea brands. This balanced approach ensures that our investments are aligned with both strategic priorities and return objectives.
We remain confident in our direction and capabilities, and we are reaffirming our full-year guidance.”
At the end of June 2025, the Jollibee Group’s store network increased by 45.5% to 10,119 compared to a year ago: Philippines (3,424) and International (6,695) – 547 in China, 357 in North America, 400 in EMEA, 896 with Highlands Coffee mainly in Vietnam, 1,261 with CBTL, 346 with Milksha, 2,809 with Compose Coffee, and 79 with Tim Ho Wan.

The Taiwan-born pet mobility brand opens its first SoHo pop-up inside Flying Solo, bringing its Nordic-designed pet stroller collection to the heart of New York City.
NEW YORK, USA – Media OutReach Newswire – 02 April 2026 – FikaGO, the design-led pet mobility brand recognized across Asia and Europe, has opened its first New York City pop-up store inside Flying Solo in SoHo.

Since entering the online American market in 2025, FikaGO has built a growing community of pet parents who see their animals as a central part of everyday life. Positioned as lifestyle essentials rather than conventional pet gear, FikaGO’s range of products is designed for people who want the best for their fur babies.
“We’ve always believed that pet products should not only be functional, but also beautifully integrated into everyday life.” — Eric Guu, Co-founder, FikaGO
SoHo was a considered choice: Flying Solo, with locations in New York and Paris, is known for championing independent design with a distinctly global sensibility.
The pop-up showcases FikaGO’s auto-folding Free To Go 2 in Sandy Beige, the brand’s bestselling product. All FikaGO’s products are manufactured using eco-friendly fabrics made from recycled materials, reflecting a commitment to sustainability. This includes their large-capacity Agile 2 pet strollers to their airline-approved Truffle carriers and the heavy-duty Kross pet wagon.
“Launching in SoHo is a meaningful milestone for us; it allows customers to truly experience the quality, design, and intention behind every FikaGO product.” — Eric Guu, Co-founder, FikaGO
As pet ownership rises globally, particularly among urban millennials and Gen Zs, demand for products that combine functionality, design, and lifestyle integration continues to grow. FikaGO was built for precisely this moment, and SoHo is precisely where that moment lives.
