Published

on

Key Highlights:

  • No. 1 Chicken QSR in Southeast Asia: Jollibee ranked by Euromonitor International as the No. 1 Chicken Quick Service Restaurant in Southeast Asia, based on 2025 value sales (Consumer Foodservice 2026).
  • Scaled and expanding regional footprint: Operates 1,658 stores across Southeast Asia, including 317 outside the Philippines, with potential for expansion in priority regional growth markets.
  • Built on strong consumer relevance: Growth driven by localized product innovation, mainstream customer appeal, and a consistently strong guest experience, with average Google ratings above four stars across key markets.
  • Proven execution across diverse markets: Strong performance in the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, and Brunei, including recognition as the No. 1 Quick Service Restaurant brand in Vietnam and the No. 1 QSR by store network in Brunei, reflecting strong demand, accessibility, and market penetration.
  • Strengthens Jollibee Group’s international growth platform: Reinforces the Group’s capability to build and scale category‑leading restaurant brands globally through disciplined execution, strong fundamentals, and a deep understanding of local consumers.

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 May 2026 – Jollibee has been ranked as the No. 1 Chicken Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) in Southeast Asia, according to Euromonitor International, based on 2025 value sales in its Consumer Foodservice 2026 study*. The recognition places Jollibee at the forefront of the region’s chicken QSR category, underscoring the brand’s sustained growth and strong consumer demand across multiple Southeast Asian markets.

Euromonitor International’s ranking is based on its Limited-Service Restaurant classification, which includes fast food and takeaway formats. The assessment draws on comprehensive research methods, including in-country research, store checks, trade interviews, and company analysis, to determine market size and competitive positioning across the region.

As of December 31, 2025, Jollibee operates 1,658 stores across Southeast Asia, anchored by its strong base in the Philippines and a growing footprint in Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei. Outside the Philippines, the brand operates 317 stores in Southeast Asia, underscoring its potential for expansion in priority growth markets.

“Jollibee is well-positioned to scale significantly over time, supported by disciplined expansion and strong market fundamentals,” said Ernesto Tanmantiong, Global President & CEO, Jollibee Group. “With 317 stores across Southeast Asia outside the Philippines, we have a solid platform for continued expansion in this high-growth region.”

A Scalable Brand Built on Market Relevance

Across Southeast Asia, Jollibee has built broad market appeal by balancing menu localization with a consistent core brand experience. Markets such as Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei, and Malaysia demonstrate this strategy in action, combining signature items with locally resonant products and campaigns.

Customer feedback supports this approach. Jollibee stores in Vietnam, Singapore, and Brunei maintain Google ratings of at least four stars, with the brand’s overall average rating across key Southeast Asian markets consistently above four.

Signature products Chickenjoy and Jolly Spaghetti remain among the brand’s top-selling items across markets and continue to drive repeat visits and strong customer affinity.

Ongoing product innovation reinforces brand relevance. Recent launches such as Spicy Nuggets, Spicy Spaghetti, and the Pistachio Kunafa Sundae sit alongside market-specific offerings like Nasi Lemak Chickenjoy in Malaysia, demonstrating how Jollibee localizes while maintaining brand consistency.

The customer mix across these markets reflects strong mainstream appeal.

“There’s a common perception that Jollibee primarily serves Filipino customers outside the Philippines, but what we’re seeing on the ground is very different,” said Dennis Flores, President for the EMEAA Region. “In markets like Vietnam and Brunei, nearly all of our customers are locals, and in Singapore and Malaysia, locals make up most of our customer base. This tells us that great taste and a strong brand experience resonate beyond borders—it’s something consumers choose, regardless of culture.”

Strong Brand Equity Across Key Markets

In Vietnam, Jollibee was recently ranked the No. 1 Quick Service Restaurant by Euromonitor International despite not having the largest store network, underscoring the brand’s strong same-store performance, consumer preference, and ability to lead the market on value sales rather than by footprint alone. It has expanded to 250 stores across more than 50 provinces and cities.

In Singapore, Jollibee has strengthened consumer engagement through locally relevant brand moments, including campaigns aligned with major cultural events. The brand was previously recognized as the No. 1 Fast Food Brand in Customer Service by The Straits Times, based on a nationwide consumer survey.

In Brunei, Jollibee stands as the No. 1 Quick Service Restaurant by store network, reflecting strong accessibility and brand presence across the country.

Driving the Jollibee Group’s International Growth

Jollibee’s brand strength is further reinforced by global recognitions that underscore both equity and execution. The brand was named among the Top 5 Strongest Restaurant Brands Globally in Brand Finance’s Restaurants 25 ranking for 2026, earning an AAA brand strength rating that reflects strong consumer loyalty, consistency, and market relevance. This is complemented by recognition of product quality and taste in international publications, including a USA Today ranking of No. 1 Best Fast-Food Fried Chicken for two consecutive years.

For the Jollibee Group, the recognition reinforces Jollibee’s role as a key driver of international growth and highlights the Group’s capability to scale restaurant brands across diverse markets through strong fundamentals and execution discipline.

“This milestone underscores the strength of Jollibee as our flagship brand and our ability to build brands that connect across markets,” Tanmantiong said. “It reflects years of disciplined execution—deep consumer understanding, strong operating systems, and a growth strategy that balances relevance with consistency. As we expand further, we remain focused on building brands that can scale while staying meaningful to the customers we serve.”

As Jollibee continues to expand across Southeast Asia and other regions, the brand remains guided by the Group’s purpose of spreading joy through superior taste, delivering food and experiences that resonate across cultures while maintaining consistency at scale.

“This recognition reflects the dedication of our teams and franchisees across Southeast Asia who bring the Jollibee brand to life every day. Our growth is rooted in staying close to our customers, adapting to local tastes while consistently delivering the core favorites and experience people associate with Jollibee. We’re grateful for the trust of our customers and remain focused on strengthening the brand across the region,” Tanmantiong added.

Hong Kong Disneyland Continues to Enhance Guest Experience Through Flexible Weather Adaptation Measures

Published

on

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 July 2026 – As Hong Kong’s summer weather becomes increasingly unpredictable, with periods of extreme heat, high humidity, and occasional rain showers and thunderstorms, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (HKDL) continues to enhance its facilities and operations to better support guests and cast members throughout the season.

From cooling facilities and shaded rest areas to flexible operational arrangements, the initiatives are designed to provide more choices and added ease for both guests and cast members during the summer months.

Additionally, HKDL has introduced an exclusive “Summer Chill” 4PM Ticket Offer for Hong Kong residents. Guests can enjoy the park from 4:00pm onwards, helping them avoid the hottest hours or periods of heavy rain, with prices starting at just HK$480.

Guests are also encouraged to stay hydrated and explore the resort’s wide selection of indoor attractions and entertainment offerings during the hottest hours of the day.

Weather-Conscious Design for a Better Guest Experience

The guest experience is supported by the resort’s planning and operations through a combination of environmental design and infrastructure enhancements. Disney Imagineers use detailed studies of sunlight, temperature, humidity and wind, supported by advanced computer simulations, to assess conditions across different areas of the park and guide design decisions.

For instance, Wayfinders’ Table in Adventureland was designed with sun exposure and ventilation needs in mind. Through the use of hard roof materials and thoughtful airflow planning, the design helps reduce heat buildup while providing shelter from rain.

Canopies, trees and fans are also used for the outdoor stage show “Moana: A Homecoming Celebration” to provide shade and added relief. The park also preserves and plants trees more extensively to provide additional natural shade.

Enhancing Infrastructure to Adapt to Changing Weather Conditions

HKDL has strengthened its guest-focused infrastructure to help improve airflow and provide added cooling support in various summer weather conditions. Energy-efficient ceiling fans operate at entrances and ticketing areas, while upgraded axial fans enhance airflow in queuing zones.

The park now features approximately 860 fans, with mobile units deployed flexibly to provide cooling support where they are needed most, particularly in high-traffic areas. Portable air-conditioning units have also been added in select outdoor zones to further support ventilation.

Mist cooling systems are also available at multiple outdoor locations, while additional shade structures have been added to queuing and dining areas.

Over 40 free water dispensers are provided across the resort, with nearly half already upgraded to dispense water 50% faster, helping guests rehydrate more conveniently throughout their visit.

Supporting Cast Members Through Changing Weather Conditions

With cast member safety as a top priority, HKDL continuously reviews operational measures to support frontline teams working outdoors in varying weather conditions. Cast members are dressed in outdoor costumes made with breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics, while additional rest breaks, hydration support and access to cooling facilities are provided during periods of extreme heat and humidity.

The resort closely monitors weather conditions and proactively adjusts outdoor show schedules whenever Heat Stress at Work Warnings are issued.

Disney Ambassadors also distribute electrolyte drink powder and chilled water bottles to frontline cast members working in outdoor areas.

Cooling Fun with Pixar Summer Fest

HKDL integrates cooling moments into storytelling. Guests can conveniently transition between a wide variety of indoor attractions, dining venues and entertainment offerings located throughout the resort, helping the magic continue in changing weather conditions.

The newly launched “Pixar Summer Fest” invites guests to beat the heat with immersive entertainment. The “Pixar Water Play Street Party!” welcomes guests to join beloved Pixar characters in a lively water parade, offering refreshing fun as part of the festive atmosphere.

Guests can also chill out with refreshing Pixar-themed treats, including Lime Dole Whip with Pineapple Slush Float at Jessie’s Snack Roundup, Monsters, Inc.-inspired Mike Wazowski Ice Cream Bar, Toy Story Alien Ice Cream Bar, and Sulley-inspired Mint Chocolate Flavored Soft Serve. These playful creations offer visual delight and refreshing summer treats for guests.

Exclusively for Hong Kong residents, the “Summer Chill” 4PM Ticket offers later entry to the park for just HK$480, allowing guests to enjoy an afternoon-to-evening “Pixar Summer Fest” experience.
