Albo Heralds Iconic Fast Food Chains Aussie Arrival

The rollout will add 35 restaurants, 900 direct jobs and $60 million in investment, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said.

  • On Sunday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced that Filipino fast-food chain Jollibee will enter Australia with a $60 million investment creating 900 direct jobs across 35 new restaurants.
  • The expansion serves as a 'taste of home' for more than 400,000 Filipino-Australians, with Jollibee chief executive Ernesto Tanmantiong citing shared cultural values between the Philippines' 'bayanihan' and Australia's 'mateship.'
  • Globally, the Jollibee Group operates almost 2,000 locations across 17 countries, with late chef Anthony Bourdain famously describing menu items as 'deranged, yet strangely alluring.'
  • Entering a crowded market, Jollibee will compete against established players including KFC, McDonald's, and Red Rooster, while Lebanese chicken shops have also expanded rapidly across Melbourne and Canberra.
  • Jollibee aims to roll out these 35 locations across NSW and Victoria over the next five years, positioning the chain for significant growth in Australia's expanding fast-food market.
