Jollibee Group opens 1st multi-brand commissary

MANILA, Philippines —  The Jollibee Group is expanding significantly its manufacturing and logistics footprint in Visayas and Mindanao with the opening of its first multi-brand commissary.

The newly inaugurated Danao facility is the fourth and largest Jollibee Group commissary in Cebu.

The state-of-the-art commissary is designed to support increasing demand across multiple Jollibee Group brands while generating efficiencies by consolidating equipment and production capabilities.

It will supply key ingredients and products for the group’s major brands, including Jollibee, Chowking, Mang Inasal, Greenwich, Red Ribbon and Burger King — brands which continue to expand their store networks in Visayas and Mindanao.

Joseph Tanbuntiong, Jollibee Group Philippines chief executive officer and Jollibee brand global head, said the new facility is strategically important to both the company’s domestic and global growth.

The facility strengthens the group’s supply chain by supporting distribution centers serving Cebu, Iloilo, Bacolod, Zamboanga, Cagayan de Oro and Davao, as well as select areas in Luzon to ensure reliability and scalability as the company accelerates its nationwide expansion.

“The opening of the Danao commissary is both a reflection of our journey and a new beginning. Accelerating our growth by building on the strong momentum in Visayas and Mindanao is critical to our Philippine business and foundational to our global aspirations,” Tanbuntiong said.

The investment also reflects the Jollibee Group’s confidence in Cebu as a strategic hub for manufacturing and logistics.

“This commissary underscores our confidence in Cebu — its people, its capability and its role in our growth today and in the long term,” Tanbuntiong said.

The Jollibee Group said the Danao facility is expected to deliver shared value for local communities, generating close to 500 jobs, with over 60 percent of the workforce coming from Danao City.

At full capacity, the commissary will generate a total of 800 jobs.

“The success of the Danao commissary is a shared success — for Danao, for Cebu and for the nation. Together, we are building a stronger, more inclusive and more sustainable future,” Tanbuntiong said.
