Jollibee, the Philippines' largest restaurant company, has agreed to open 35 stores across New South Wales and Victoria within five years. The first location is confirmed for Campbelltown in Western Sydney.

Why it matters

The expansion brings a major international fast-food brand to Australia, with 900 direct jobs and an estimated $60 million investment. It also follows a defence deal between Australia and the Philippines, which the Jollibee announcement accompanied.

Jollibee plans 35 stores in NSW and Victoria within five years, a commitment set against an existing network of more than 1600 stores in 17 countries. The announcement involves an estimated $60 million investment and 900 direct jobs, while the source does not detail the timing of openings beyond the first Campbelltown site.

Market Landscape

Jollibee's entry into Australia extends the reach of a large Philippine food brand into a market where the Filipino diaspora already numbers more than 400,000 people, the fifth-largest in the country. The expansion into NSW and Victoria targets the two most populous states, positioning the chain against established fast-food competitors.
