The fast-food giant’s venture in Canada started at 1406 Ellice Avenue in Winnipeg, where locals have been anxiously waiting for weeks to try Jollibee's famous Chickenjoy and Jolly Spaghetti.
On its Facebook page, Jollibee Canada shared the story of its first customer – Jason Ladera – who was in line with his son hours before of the opening. As someone who used to work for a Jollibee restaurant back in the Philippines, Ladera said that Jollibee reminded him of home.
“I miss home. I miss Jollibee,” he said.
