MICHIGAN, USA. 22 January 2024 – The snow did not bother Detroiters who appeared undeterred by the freezing conditions in Sterling Heights, Michigan as they witnessed the much-anticipated opening of Jollibee’s first store in Michigan state.




“We are thrilled to be opening our first store in the state of Michigan, an important milestone in Jollibee’s accelerated North America growth strategy,” said Ernesto Tanmantiong, the president and chief executive officer of Jollibee Group. “As the 10th largest U.S. state in terms of population, there is a huge opportunity for Jollibee to grow and thrive with the local communities in Michigan. We’re excited to introduce the residents of Michigan to Chickenjoy and the Jollibee experience.”




The milestone Jollibee branch is located at 44935 Woodridge Drive, in front of the Lakeside Mall in the city of Detroit–Michigan’s first capital city. While it had to cease dine-in services earlier than expected due to the bad weather, Jollibee Sterling Heights still exceeded its opening-day sales target, boosted by hundreds of hungry Detroiters who ordered through the store’s double-lane drive-thru.
