History
Leonardo "Sandy" Javier Jr., an entrepreneur and later a politician[1], founded the first Andok's branch on West Avenue in Quezon City in 1985. After observing lechon manok in Pampanga, he believed they were not preparing it correctly. He remarked "Too fast, the juices were coming out too quick," and thought to himself he could make it better. Initially, he faced challenges, having borrowed 12 chicks from an acquaintance of his mother, but sold only 2 of those chickens in his first attempt at the business. Sandy would go the extra mile, actively chasing after customers, charming them with the fact that they were making a purchase from an Atenean and the brother of the renowned Danny Javier. In an effort to enhance customer attraction, he installed a prominent, vibrant yellow signage. This distinctive colors have now become iconic for the roasted chicken shop. Later on, his small stall in Quezon City soon expanded its daily inventory to 80 chickens.[2][3]
Over time, Andok's continued to thrive, and its menu evolved to include a variety of dishes such as pork chop, sinigang, fried chicken, Bicol Express, and desserts. The business further expanded its presence beyond Metro Manila, opening at least 10 stores in the Visayas within a span of two years.[3]
Javier Jr.'s father, Leonardo Sr., was affectionately known by the nickname "Andok". It was Sandy's promise to his dying father to name his business after him.[2]
