Jollibee in Singapore is fastfood chain’s top performing outlet worldwide

SINGAPORE—The Jollibee outlet at shopping center Lucky Plaza in Singapore is the fast food chain’s top performing outlet worldwide.

The Philippine-based Jollibee, famous for its fried chicken dish Chickenjoy, has over 800 outlets across the globe and opened its first Singapore outlet on the sixth floor of Lucky Plaza at Orchard Road on March 12.

Jollibee vice president for international operations Dennis M. Flores told The Straits Times that the Lucky Plaza outlet attracted 35,000 customers in its first week but did not elaborate on customer numbers so far. Jollibee is looking to open another outlet by the end of the year at either Tampines or Causeway Point in Woodlands, he added.

Jollibee formally marked its first milestone store in Singapore on Wednesday with a celebration officiated by its global chief executive and chairman Tony Tan Caktiong. Among the invited guests were former president of Singapore, S R Nathan, and Temasek Holdings’ chief executive and executive director Ho Ching.
