HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Established in 1975 by Dr. Tony Tan Caktiong, the Jollibee Group embarked on its journey with humble beginnings as a family-operated ice cream business on the streets of Manila. Guided by the vision and dedication of Dr. Tan Caktiong, alongside the support of his wife Grace, family, and in-laws, the enterprise evolved over three years, transitioning from ice cream parlors to the widely recognized Jollibee brand.
Driven by a steadfast belief in the immense potential of the venture, Tony Tan Caktiong dreamt ambitiously. With unwavering commitment, passion, and focus, he transformed the once-small enterprise into one of the largest companies in the Philippines, extending its reach across Asia and now spanning the globe.
From its origins as a singular brand, the dream has materialized into a diversified restaurant group boasting 18 beloved brands and a staggering presence of over 6,700 stores in 34 countries. Upholding a mission centered on spreading the joy of dining to all, the Jollibee Group remains dedicated to its ongoing pursuit of securing a place among the top five restaurant companies worldwide.
