But the sales compare to KFC does not show that. I even know a Filipino that does not even like it. Lol

KFC operators inherited 7 decades of advertising and mass market appeal. But the quality is not what it was. In contrast Chic-Fil-A has managed to maintain their quality better.

The numbers do not lie. There is a difference between solid evidence such as sales numbers and folks tale.

Where are you pulling annual store sales figures for Jollibee US franchises?

paydawg said:I don't know. Jollibee chicken is so damn tasty but I feel sick every time I eat it. Maybe it's just me or maybe it's just this one location.
momopi said:Ah. Jollibee actually owns a number of different restaurants and bakeries, including Chow King, Red Ribbon, Mang Inasal (BBQ), Greenwich Pizza, etc. In the US they own Smashhburger and Coffee & Tea leaf. If you look at global sales the figures might be for Jollibee Food Corp and not specific to the fried chicken restaurants.
Specific to US operations, I think Jollibee is still very ethnic with palabok, tocino, ube flavors, etc. They do well in places like Cerritos with large Filipino population. IMO the chicken joy and gravy is good when fresh. If you go to a less popular location the chicken that's been sitting under heat lamp for a while is not so good.
Other items like yum burger and halo halo is just... lame. I expect layers of jackfruit, coocnut jelly and other goodies in my halo halo and they do not deliver. The spaghetti caters to Asian preference for sweeter sauce.
momopi said:The Anaheim location by Ranch 99 (Euclid off I-5) should still be open. I used to order take-out catering from there as it was the closest Jollibee to Irvine office. I would not order Chow King.
