In this year’s Future 50 list, Jollibee joins the ranks of yogurt players’ sweetFrog and Tutti Frutti, popular joints like Shake Shack as well as new restaurant concepts with offerings ranging from burritos, pizzas, pitas and cakes.

“We are very happy to be recognized as among the 50 emerging fast-food chains alongside other small concepts that have surfaced in the US in recent years. This shows that Jollibee’s offerings are continuously being patronized by a growing number of locals and proves the universal appeal of our famous langhap-sarap products like Chickenjoy, Yumburger and Spaghetti,” said JFC USA president Jose Minana, Jr.

The magazine’s “Future 50” list identifies the fastest growing concepts between US$25-50 million in annual sales, a point at which a concept has proven itself and is poised to enter a new level of national awareness.
