My wife's uncle is thinking about getting one built here. There's a huge population of my Flip brothers and sisters in Fort Washington/Oxon Hill area.

Do these franchises in California do well? I mean, I know I can't compare the population here in the East Coast to the millions in Cali...but just the same, how's the market penetration there?

That would be great as long as it's well advertized among pinoys in that area. I've been there and have lots of relatives there (Maryland).

The food is really not that great. If they want to succeed in the States, they should have free refills.

jolibee targets the pinoy taste, as a typical pinoy i do prefer their burgers over mcdonalds, but i am not sure if it will sell to other nationality...

i guess if the Filipino population in that area is not large enough it wont make good business...

What I don't understand is how come nobody has set up a Jollibee franchise in New York City where it is one of the most populated places by Pinoys.

I'm pretty sure tons of people have thought about this idea and they couldn't do it because:
a) the franchise fee is very high
b) Jollibee won't allow it in NYC

I still think it's (b) since a franchise fee can easily be paid back as long as the business is profitable.

Sa totoo lang the jollibee (burgers) doesn't taste like the one in Pinas. Iba ang lasa meat at ingredients na ginagamit.....when I go to Jollibee, I order the chickenjoy dahil yun medyo kapareho.

Alin ang mas masarap? Sa states o sa pilipinas? Kahit sa McDo sa manila, iba ang lasa at sobrang nipis pa compared to the US. Siguro sa States, kailangan 100% beef talaga. ewan ko lang sa pilipins.

Pre ang laki nang pagkakaiba nang lasa nang burgers lalo na ang CHAMP. Mas masarap sa Pinas. Pag umuuwi ako, sa Jollibee kaagad kami, malinamnam. Iniisip ko kung bakit hindi magaya dito....marami sigurong restrictions...including yung mga rekado dito sa Tate.

Awesome, I'll be definitely making a trip to Jollibee when they open. Jollibee is the best.

That's probably why it's good. :D

I grew up there...and most who did would know that it's one of the best tasting burgers. (Number 2 behind Tropical Hut hamburgers) :D But for those who didn't it's understandable, they grew into a a certain different taste.

I grew up in the Philippines as well. I'm sort of a hamburger connoiseur :D. I don't want to know what they put in the Philippine beef. Makes me wonder why Philippines has one of the highest liver cancer rates in Asia.

As for chicken: it's harder to disguise chicken meat. :) It's not grounded.

BTW, they do have one in San Diego
