The Jollibee Group has formally opened in Danao City its largest commissary outside of Luzon, designed to expand its manufacturing and logistics footprint across the rapidly growing VisMin region and the wider Philippines.
The state-of-the-art facility facility is the fourth—and largest—Jollibee Group commissary in Cebu and its first multi-brand, state-of-the-art commissary in the Philippines.
It comes at a time of accelerating economic momentum in VisMin, driven by a strong tourism rebound, the rise of BPO hubs, expanding agribusiness exports, and growing manufacturing clusters—factors that continue to drive employment, consumer spending, and demand across the region.
Outfitted with advanced automation and integrated systems, the commissary is designed to support increasing demand across multiple Jollibee Group brands while generating efficiencies by consolidating equipment and production capabilities.
This allows the Group to scale responsibly while upholding its standards for food quality, consistency, and operational excellence.
The Danao Commissary supplies key ingredients and products for the Group’s major brands, including Jollibee, Chowking, Mang Inasal, Greenwich, Red Ribbon, and Burger King. These brands continue to expand their store networks in VisMin while sustaining same-store sales 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—ensuring reliability and scalability as the company accelerates its nationwide expansion.
Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Cristina Roque said “Every new commissary that the Jollibee Group opens represents more jobs, more security, and more growth for our local industries.”
She noted that, “As we open more commissaries, we are also encouraging more investments in our country while strengthening our supply chain.”
Jollibee Group Philippines Chief Executive Officer and Head of Jollibee Brand Global Joseph Tanbuntiong underscored the strategic importance of the new facility to both the company’s domestic and global growth.
“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,” he added.
The investment also highlights 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 noted.
