Why Is McDonald's Struggling In The Philippines? Jollibee

McDonald's and Burger King have both been struggling in the Philippines because of local rival Jollibee, and now the Filipino fast-food chain is making a play for the American market.
McDonald's is an American fast-food behemoth. With more than 37,000 restaurants in 120 countries, the chain dominates pretty much every market it chooses to enter. But in the Philippines, where McDonald's has been trying and failing for nearly 40 years to be No. 1, a local chain is giving McDonald's a run for its money: Jollibee.
Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC), which has a market capitalization of around $5 billion, owns 14 brands with 4,300 restaurants around the world. Its Jollibee brand has over 1,300 locations and is the largest fast-food chain in the Philippines, operating a domestic network of over 1,000 stores.
The corporation has also embarked on a self-confessed "aggressive" international expansion strategy that has resulted in operations in the U.S., Vietnam, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Brunei.
Watch this video to find out why this Filipino fast-food chain is challenging major international rivals at home - and abroad.

Jollibee Is Why McDonald's Struggles In The Philippines

Jollibee has been part of the filipino culture since then, it is really familly oriented. Especially if you tell a filipino kid like "you wanna go to joillibee?" then they'll be happy as hell.

[@myeoniverse3883]

I love jollibee so much, its part of my childhood and its my monthly reward from my parents. I have tons of photos with the bee. Way back then, every Filipino children dream is to have a bday party in jollibee. I even enjoy collecting their toys. Before, every christmas there is always a huge donation box in Jollibee for poor filipino kids so we can share joy to them by donating our preloved toys or a school supplies. In addition, Jollibee mascot is friendly looking one and as a child i prefer that because im scared of clown. I also tried other fast food in PH and in other country but no one beats Jollibee for me. The only food i like in Mcdo is their ice cream and french fries. I dont like their spaghetti coz its too westernized and taste sour maybe thats why Filipino kids prefer jollibee over Mcdo.

Here in south-Africa we are lucky to have a lot of variety. We have our own American themed takeaways that produce much better burgers than McDonalds AND Burger King (Steers, Spur, Wimpy...), Indian Cafes with deliciously spicy Burgers, Portuguese themed cafes , deliciously spiced, Middle-Eastern Type Swarma type Burgers, delicious Barbeque flavors, Far Asian Franchises with Chinese/ Thai/ Filipino influences, Malay Franchises with traditional Cape Malay Burgers etc. Amongst these, McDonalds and Burger King are considered the most tasteless, only popular since they are everywhere and thus easily available and cheap. Personally I will pay ten times more somewhere else to eat a proper burger, mostly at Indian or Malay Franchises. I always buy somewhere besides McDonalds/ Burger King if possible.
