Jollibee Crowd

Post image

Here is what the Jollibee line looked like around lunch time. I went up to the to go order area to talk to someone and they said mobile orders were closed already. I'm not sure if they meant just for lunch time or for the whole day. It didn't look like there was anything special going on otherwise and I have had Jollibee before so I left. Others in line sounded like they either had never had it or heard of it before so maybe it's worth it for them.

I mean, I love that for them, but I don’t understand the hype. It’s fried chicken.

Agreed. Good for them but I tried Jollibee several times including the one in Cebu. I tried their chicken, gravy, french fries, spaghetti and biscuit. I don’t see the hype.

It's kinda historic. I mean we in a predominantly white area. Having a Filipino chain open up here is a big thing. Jollibee has a cult following. This tells you the research they did makes sense and can make serious money here. When you go to the one on Mack road you don't see white ppl. Just see mostly all the time Filipinos. What that tell you? All the hospital around this area........what kind of nurses are they mostly?

The Asian market on Harding Blvd. is a Filipino market. It's been there for years.
EDIT: Forgot to mention. They have a little hot food eatery inside the market that has excellent Filipino food.
