Asia Pacific

Australia and Japan

In an October 2015 forum, Jollibee president and CEO Tony Tan Caktiong announced that Jollibee planned to open their first branches in Australia and Japan by 2018.[70][71] In a signing ceremony on 26 October 2016, Caktiong said that Jollibee might open stores in Japan in 2018.[110] Within the same month, Jollibee secured a partnership with Ise Foods (renamed Tamago & Company Inc) to open a Jollibee outlet in Japan.[111] By October 2017, the projected dates of Jollibee's entrance into the two markets were pushed to 2020.[112]

On 4 April 2022, it was reported that Jollibee will be opening its first Australian branch in Campbelltown, a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, with pre-construction plans already in progress.[113][114]

In December 2024, Jollibee's regional business head for Europe, Middle East, Asia and Australia Dennis Flores stated that the initial Campbelltown location opening plan was scrapped due to administrative challenges with their partner developer, but that there is still a plan to open Jollibee's first Australian branch within in the next five years, with a high possibility to do so in two.[115]

Others

Jollibee also considered reestablishing presence in Indonesia in late 2016 to mid-2017.[98] It also considered reestablishing presence in China.[101] The chain planned to come to Cambodia and Bangladesh at an undisclosed date.[116][117]
