MANILA, Philippines - Popular Philippine fast food chain Jollibee is finally opening in Singapore next week.
On its Facebook page, Jollibee announced it is opening its first branch in Singapore on March 12. The branch is located at the 6th floor of Lucky Plaza along Orchard Road.
In a separate Facebook page, Jollibee Singapore has already posted some photos of the new branch, which shows colorful chairs and wall decor.
