Philippine fast-food giant Jollibee has taken another step forward in its planned re-entry into the Guam market with the announcement of its hiring plan for its new store on island.
The $2 million construction project to build a standalone Jollibee in the Micronesia Mall parking lot broke ground earlier this year.
Jollibee posted a recruitment notice in June at Guam Community College seeking applications from those who may be interested in joining its restaurant team. The food establishment is looking for managers, supervisors and crew members.
According to the information posted by the company, the hiring process for crew members will begin at the end of the year. Applicants were advised to submit their resumés to hiring@jollibeeguam.com.
The Jollibee corporate office in the Philippines previously confirmed to The Guam Daily Post its Guam restaurant will open in the fourth quarter of this year.
Jollibee had two franchise-run restaurants on Guam and two on Saipan, but its Marianas presence ended more than a decade ago as the islands went through an economic downturn. Jollibee also had trouble competing with Guam players who offered larger portions.
The company builds, runs and franchises quick-service restaurants. A Jollibee international franchise applicant must have a minimum net worth of $5 million, according to the company's website.
206 stores and growing
According to its corporate office, as of April this year, Jollibee had 206 stores worldwide, with 37 in the United States, two in Canada, 38 in the Middle East, 100 in Vietnam, eight in Hong Kong, five in Singapore, 15 in Brunei and one in Italy.
Known for its crispy fried chicken, sweet spaghetti and other Filipino twists on patties, hot dogs, egg rolls and noodles, Jollibee announced its planned Guam re-entry as part of its overseas expansion plans.
(Really, I have no clue)
>>You weren’t in the Philippines when that disgruntled former KFC employee told you that.
No. We have two Jollibee locations in Jacksonville Florida.
I miss Hank Johnson. He was smarter than many democrats in the news today, and he is still in office, but for some reason he has become camera shy.
Too bad we didn’t have more time, when you visited us here, we could have gone to the nearest Jolibee, about 5 minutes down the street. On second thought, we could have called them, since they deliver. 👍
