In 1984, it opened its first overseas outlet in West Covina, California.[5] The company began franchising in 1999. Today, more than 200 branches operate in the Philippines; 32 in California; five in Las Vegas; two in New Jersey (Jersey City and Bergenfield); one in Metropolitan Phoenix;[6] two in New York City; one in Virginia Beach, Virginia; one in Chicago, one in Metropolitan Detroit, and two in Houston, Texas.[7]
