In 2015, Jollibee first indicated it would expand to Canada with plans to open the first Canadian branch in Toronto.[68]

The first Canadian Jollibee location opened in December 2016 in Winnipeg, Manitoba.[69][70] The city was chosen as the first Jollibee location by JFC due to it being the Canadian city with the highest density of Filipinos.[71] For the opening ceremony, the fast food's eponymous mascot wore a tuque and scarf,[71] which are not worn in the Philippines, over its usual costume.

Jollibee had former branches in Taiwan, China and the United Arab Emirates. Jollibee launched its first branch in Taiwan in 1986, also its first branch outside the Philippines.[79] Jollibee had at least two branches in Taiwan.[2] Jollibee launched its first mainland China branch in Xiamen in 1998 but later closed in 2001. Jollibee focused on acquiring already popular restaurant chains in China.[80] Jollibee launched its first branch in Dubai in 1995 but it was later closed.[9] Jollibee previously had branches in Malaysia and Indonesia but were later closed down due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis.[81][82] Jollibee entered the Indonesian market in 1991 and by 1995 it had two stores in Jakarta.[3]

Jollibee had two branches on the island of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. territory. The first location was opened in the village of Garapan in late 1999.[83] A second location was opened in the village of Chalan Kanoa in January 2000.[84] The Chalan Kanoa branch was closed in 2004[85] and the main Garapan branch closed in February 2009 due to declining sales.[86]

On the island of Guam, another U.S. territory, Jollibee had opened a location there in 1996[87] but later closed the branch sometime before 2009.[86] A second location was reported to have opened in the Agana Shopping Center in February 2000.[88] There are no records on when the second location had closed, but no Jollibee locations are known to exist on the island of Guam by 2009.

Jollibee also had a branch in Papua New Guinea which opened in 1997 in Port Moresby. The branch closed following the publication of a newspaper print advertisement that falsely implied that the local branch was trying to purchase dogs and cats as a source of food. Jollibee was unable to track down those responsible for the ad but had suspected several competitors.[89]

In 2013, Jollibee president and CEO Tony Tan Caktiong stated that Jollibee had plans to open a branch in Europe due to popular demand, but that such plans were not then prioritized.[80][92][93] However, it was later reported in March 2015 that Jollibee planned to expand to Europe through an unspecified country in 2017-2018.[94] Plans to open a branch in Spain was also announced on October 2017.[95]

Caktiong also announced in a forum on October 29, 2015 Jollibee's plan to open its first branches in Italy and the United Kingdom.[96] Jollibee is set to open its first branch in the United Kingdom by 2018.[95]

Asia Pacific

Australia and Japan

In an October 2015 forum, Jollibee president and CEO Tony Tan Caktiong announced that Jollibee planned to open their first branches in Australia and Japan by 2017.[68] In a signing ceremony on October 26, 2016, Caktiong said that Jollibee may open stores in Japan in 2018.[97] within the same month JFC secured partnership with Ise Foods to open a Jollibee outlet in Japan.[98] By October 2017, the projected dates of Jollibee's entrance into the two markets were pushed to 2020.[95]

Others

Jollibee has also considered reestablishing presence in Indonesia within the late 2016 to mid 2017 timeframe[81] as well as to return in the Malaysia market in 2016.[68] Jollibee also planned to open its first branch in Oman on the same year.[68]

It was reported on July 2017, that Jollibee plans to reopen a branch in Guam.[5][99] The Marianas Business Journal report that Jollibee may return by late 2018.[100]

McDonald's is fighting back with a determined effort to catch its upstart rival. Last year it opened eight new outlets, a big increase on the four to five new restaurants opened in each of the previous few years. It now has 25 outlets, compared to Jollibee's 58. But Jollibee opened nine new outlets last year and plans another 10 in 1990... That means Americans and Canadians on the West Coast of North America will soon be sampling Jollibee's Yumburgers, Champs and Chicken Joy. It plans to open "pilot" stores in key West Coast cities within three years and is also looking to expand into the Middle East. Jollibee already has opened two stores in Taiwan and one in the affluent Sultinate of Brunei. Its flexible approach to customer requirements has continued overseas. In Taiwan, it has added a fish fillet sandwich... Jollibee found the Taiwanese didn't like its sweet spaghetti sauce and so made it "more bland." In Muslim Brunei, it calls its hamburgers beefburgers and is certified as a restaurant that prepares food according to Muslim law. "You have to adjust to their customs and religion," Mr. Sumulong said. "They won't eat 'hamburgers' because pork is forbidden." The same flexible approach will be used to spearhead expansion into North America and help the company achieve its goal of becoming a 200-store chain by 1995. {{cite news}}: Unknown parameter |subscription= ignored (|url-access= suggested) (help)

Jollibee plans to enter foreign markets through franchising agreements. The company is hesitant about opening outlets abroad through joint ventures because when it first started expanding overseas several of its joint ventures ran into trouble, says Raffy dela Rosa, vice president finance, referring to the company's two Jakarta outlets, which opened about four years ago. "The problem was more of entry positioning," he says, adding that Jollibee has solved the problem by turning the Indonesian stores into franchises this year.

A new Jollibee restaurant opened Wednesday at the Wrigley Marketplace shopping center, continuing the Filipino chain's expansion in the U.S. The 2,700-square-foot store, at 281 E. Willow St. in Long Beach, lands in a fast-food hotbed, built nearly adjacent to a McDonald's, a Carl's Jr. and a Burger King... After opening a Jollibee in Carson last month, the company's strategy for opening in Long Beach is not to focus on just Asians, but to appeal to the broadest possible customer base... Jollibee has the usual fare that most fast-food restaurants have: hamburgers, french fries, and children's meals. But Jollibee burgers are sweeter than other chains, primarily because its Asian-Pacific customer base prefers the flavor. {{cite news}}: Unknown parameter |subscription= ignored (|url-access= suggested) (help)

Just six years after entering the Vallejo market with great fanfare, the Park Place Shopping Center Jollibee, the Philippines' answer to McDonald's, quietly went out of business... There are nine Jollibee locations in the United States and another will open next month in Los Angeles, De le Cruz said. Besides Vallejo's, stores have closed in San Francisco and Long Beach and neither has reopened, she said... But the popularity of Jollibee's hamburgers, spaghetti, chicken pieces and peach mango pie seems to have fallen flat, at least in north Vallejo... He said he believes Vallejo's Jollibee closed because it was too far from the city's major Filipino population center.
