Jollibee Scarborough is
the Filipino fast-food chain’s third store in Canada and the 40th store
in North America. Here, residents can savor the crispylicious and juicylicious Jolly
Crispy Chicken (more popularly known as Chickenjoy here in the Philippines), the tastiest and meatiest Jollibee Spaghetti,
Palabok Fiesta, and the golden-brown
Peach Mango Pie, among other langhap-sarap

No less than Jollibee
welcomed Filipinos to the store, including its very first customer, Paul, who
looked forward to enjoying the Jolly Crispy Chicken for the first time in six
years.

great-tasting food and happy moments. We are excited to bring to Scarborough
the popular dishes that many now enjoy in different parts of the world,” said

countrymen in the Greater Toronto Area.
Many may not know that this area is home to the largest Filipino
community in Canada! And we won’t stop
here – another location in Mississauga is in the pipeline for the year,” said
