Fried-Chicken Fast-Food Chain, Jollibee, Opens Location In North Texas

The first Jollibee fried-chicken restaurant in North Texas has opened in West Plano.

Jollibee, the largest fast-food chain in the Philippines, is known as the "McDonald's of the Philippines", says CNBC, and it's definitely something special.

Jollibee is known for its signature Chickenjoy, a bucket of fried chicken, served with sides like mashed potatoes, garlic rice, or garlic fries.

The Chickenjoy can also be served with a side of Jollibee's famous spaghetti that comes topped with sliced hotdogs and cheese.

For dessert, Jollibee sells fried peach-mango pie in a sleeve for easy eating on the go, and halo-halo, a Filipino dessert with three kinds of beans, gelatin, shaved ice, ice cream, and flan.

Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the company continues opening locations. "We're so honored and humbled by the warm reception and support we've received from our customers, given the times," said Maribeth Dela Cruz, president of Jollibee Group North America, Philippine Brands.

"For Filipino Americans who consider Jollibee a 'taste of home' as well as those trying our products for the very first time, our wish is that Jollibee can be a source of comfort for individuals and families during these uncertain times."

This is the third Jollibee that has opened in Texas.
