Jollibee brings jolly treat to locals, tourists at MCIA

Jollibee provided a jolly welcome and warm send- off to locals and tourists visiting the queen city of the South with the opening of two new stores at the departure and arrival areas of Mactan-Cebu International Airport.

Overseas Filipino workers and local tourists flying in to Cebu immediately tasted the joy of being home and being with their family, with a Jollibee meal.

Tourists from foreign countries also had a truly warm and happy Pinoy experience with a taste of Jollibee favorites like the Chickenjoy, Yumburger and Jolly Spaghetti.

The experience did not stop there. The Jollibee take-out counter at the departure hall of the Mactan-Cebu International Airport also served OFWs and tourists bound for their home countries.

“We want to bring the experience of eating at Jollibee closer to everyone. Filipinos who come from abroad are always craving for Jollibee when they arrive and tourists also get to taste something very Filipino right here in the airport,” said Shing Llanos, Jollibee regional business unit head for Visayas. “And in the departure lounge, the Jollibee store allows OFWs and tourists to end their Cebu adventure on a joyful note with a Jollibee meal.”

Jollibee, together with Popo, Hetty, Twirlie, and Yum, gave passengers their jolliest welcome by treating the crowd with a dance. Jollibee and friends, of course, obliged their fans with wacky, fun photos.

The airport turned into a spectacle for the senses when festival dancers in colorful costumes performed dances that symbolized thanksgiving. Arriving passengers were also treated to Jollibee cone twirls, while departing passengers were surprised by Jollibee and friends, who gladly obliged for a fun photo op. The traditional giant burger slicing and toast marked the opening of the two stores, which brings the total number of Jollibee stores in Metro Cebu to 61.

In the Philippines, Jollibee has more than 916 stores that offer the taste of joy to millions of Filipino families, bringing countless smiles with well-loved treats like Chickenjoy, Jolly Spaghetti, Yumburgers, Peach Mango Pie, and sundaes.
