21 March 2017 DUBAI, UAE — Filipino fast food chain launched its 7th branch in the United Arab Emirates at the Manila Mall of downtown Satwa. Jollibee Satwa is the largest Jollibee branch in the UAE.
More than 450,000 Filipinos currently reside in Satwa.
Philippine Consul General to Dubai Paul Raymund Cortes hailed the Seed Group's vision of bringing Jollibee and the special brand of Filipino cuisine into the UAE, further noting the unprecedented success of Jollibee in the UAE. He emphasized the special bond Jollibee brings to Filipinos and hoped that the unique Jollibee experience will spread not only to Filipinos in the UAE but to the 200 other ethnicities and nationalities in the country.
Joining Consul General Cortes were Dr. Yasmin Cortes, Seed Group Chairman Hisham Al Gurg, Mme. Hala Badri, and the management and staff of Jollibee Satwa. The Seed Group will open two more branches in Dubai and two more in neighboring Emirate, Sharjah, before the year ends. END
