The Jollibee franchise revolutionized the local fast-food industry in the Philippines.
Franchising is the fastest-growing business sector in the Philippines,
according to "A Guide to Franchising in the Philippines," by the Philippine Franchising Association (PFA).
A sum as small as PHP200,000 ($4,600) can serve as a start-up investment for all the franchising needs of a middle-class Filipino. A food franchise usually requires at least one employer to maintain a small cart or booth with street food and other dining options. Meanwhile, the more expensive franchises can cost about PHP5 million ($112,000).
Jollibee
Revolutionizing the fast-food industry in the Philippines for more than three decades, Jollibee offers a successful, tried-and-true business model. If the franchisee has an ideal location, the brand usually brings in a profit. While the capital outlay for Jollibee requires millions of pesos--a large sum of money--the company provides franchisees with valuable resources and feasibility support. It has more than 600 franchises successfully operating in various parts of the country. There are franchises in other countries, too: dozens of them operate in five countries--the United States, China (in Hong Kong), Vietnam, Brunei and Saudi Arabia.
Jollibee's trademark food offerings include burgers, spaghetti, fries, fried chicken, and rice meals.
