Jollibee Calgary Arrives Just a Month After Edmonton, Alberta Opening

Only a month after opening its first store in Edmonton, the first in Alberta, Canada, popular fast-food restaurant Jollibee is gearing up for its first store in Calgary on Friday, September 20, 2019. The store will be located at 999 36th St., NE Unit 1050 Calgary, AB T2A 7X6.

Canada continues to play a key role in Jollibee’s expansion plans as the chain progresses in its goal to open 100 branches in the country by 2023. Jollibee opened its first store in Winnipeg in 2016 and since then has rapidly added stores across the country. Calgary is the third store to open in Canada in the past month and will be the seventh store to open in the country to-date. As the most populated city in Alberta and home to more than 100,000 Filipinos, Calgary was the natural choice for the next store location.

Now, Calgary locals can finally say “It’s Our Turn,” as they’ll soon get their hands on Jollibee’s signature offerings, all available at the new location. Made with a secret marinade to make it crispylicious on the outside and juicylicious on the inside, Jolly Crispy Chicken is a fan-favorite often enjoyed with a side of hot, flavorful gravy and complemented by the chain’s signature sweet-style Jolly Spaghetti loaded with chunky slices of savory ham and hotdog. Finally, the Peach Mango Pie, famous for its delicious, gooey filling made with real Philippine mangoes enclosed in a light, crispy crust will make any meal complete.

To celebrate the brand’s arrival in Calgary and give back to locals who have waited patiently for a store in their own corner of Alberta, Jollibee will be hosting exclusive giveaways:

  1. Jollibee will host an advance tasting of its menu for 50 lucky fans on September 19, the day before the official opening. To win one of these coveted spots, fans should head to Jollibee Canada’s Facebook page for more details.

  2. On opening day, the first 50 fans in line, who make a purchase of $25 or more, win ‘One Year of Joy,’ which includes a year’s supply of Jolly Crispy Chicken – that’s a six-piece bucket every month for a year!

  3. On opening day, Jollibee will award coveted Jollibee barong-clad Funko Pop! figures to those in line carrying the most unique banners or posters with the hashtag, #ItsOurTurn.

Jollibee store openings in Canada and across the globe have been known to draw massive crowds as fans and curious newcomers alike queue up for even days beforehand for a chance to be among the store’s first customers. At the recent Edmonton opening, the store welcomed 8,000 customers on opening day and the first customer was a local who waited in line for a record three days even though he had never tried Jollibee before.

“As a major cosmopolitan area and Alberta’s largest city, Calgary is a key stepping stone in our expansion across Canada,” said Beth Dela Cruz, President, JFC Brands North America. “To our Calgary family who have been eagerly awaiting the opening of this store, we look forward to welcoming you this Friday. It’s your turn!”

Jollibee is the flagship brand of Jollibee Foods Corporation’s 14 brands. JFC is one of the world’s largest and fastest growing Asian restaurant companies with more than 4,500 stores in 21 countries.
