Jollibee opens first store in Guam

Homegrown fast-food giant Jollibee Foods Corp. on Saturday opened its first store in Guam.

In a statement, Jollibee said the Guam store is part of the company’s accelerated global expansion plans towards its vision to be among the "Top 5 restaurant companies" in the world.

The Guam store is the company's 38th outlet in the US and its territories.

"The standalone Jollibee store seats 205 and is in front of Micronesia Mall in Dededo, the most populous village in Guam," Jollibee said.

"An estimate of over 1000 enthusiastic fans lined up with some queuing for 12 hours to celebrate the first day of Jollibee’s Guam store," it said.

The fast-food giant recently announced its accelerated North American expansion plan, which includes growing to 150 locations in the US and 100 in Canada over the next five years. —Ted Cordero/KG, GMA News
