Newest Texas outpost marks the global restaurant brand’s 74th location in the U.S., as Jollibee continues to grow its fanbase in North America
WEST COVINA, Calif. /PRNewswire/ — Global restaurant brand, Jollibee, recently hailed “the best fast food fried chicken” in America by USA TODAY, is excited to announce the opening of its first location in Arlington, Texas, on Friday, August 16, 2024. The new Jollibee will be located at 1700 West Pleasant Ridge Road in the heart of South Arlington’s vibrant retail corridor, just off Interstate 20. Beloved for its mouth-watering Chickenjoy fried chicken, crispy and juicy chicken sandwiches and iconic Peach Mango Pie, Jollibee’s new Arlington outpost marks its 7th location in the Lone Star State and its 74th in the U.S., as the brand continues to bolster its fanbase across North America.
Situated almost exactly halfway between the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, Arlington enjoys convenient access to both cities, while also being in the center of the action. For those who want to check out Jollibee’s new Arlington, Texas location, here are the key details:
- Address: 1700 West Pleasant Ridge Road, Arlington, TX 76015
- Store Hours: 9AM – 11PM, seven days a week
- How to Order: This location will offer dine-in, take-out and drive-thru service, with online ordering available in the coming weeks.
Jollibee invites curious first-time customers in and around Arlington – from fried-chicken lovers to those who simply crave something deliciously different – to discover for themselves why fans line up for hours when a new Jollibee opens its doors. Not sure what to try first? Here are some of the brand’s “must have” menu items:
- Chickenjoy: Jollibee’s signature crispy and juicy bone-in fried chicken. Also available in a spicy version.
- Chicken Sandwich: A crispy, juicy chicken breast fillet is spread with umami mayo, and sandwiched between a toasted brioche bun.
- Spicy Chicken Sandwich: The spicy version features a sriracha mayo spread and fresh jalapeno slices.
- Peach Mango Pie: Made with peaches and real Philippine mangoes in a warm, light, and crispy crust.
“We are simply thrilled to bring our famous Chickenjoy and other Jollibee favorites to our many loyal fans who call Arlington home, but we also can’t wait to win over first-time guests with the great-tasting food, happy moments, and the warm and friendly service that makes Jollibee so special,” said Maribeth Dela Cruz, Business Group Head, Honeybee Foods Corporation dba Jollibee. “Arlington not only enjoys excellent proximity to both Dallas and Fort Worth, but it also is consistently ranked as one of America’s most desirable cities to live, work and play – making it the perfect place to continue spreading our joy in the Great State of Texas!”
The Arlington grand opening promises to be absolutely buzzing with the fun and excitement that makes Jollibee openings a true celebration for all ages. To jumpstart the joy, Jollibee will be hosting a three-day promotion, whereby the first 50 in-store customers and first 50 drive-thru customers who spend $25 or more will be gifted these Jollibee goodies:
- Day 1: One year of free Jollibee Chicken Sandwiches (1 sandwich per month for 12 months) and an exclusive Jollibee t-shirt designed just for this opening
- Day 2: Jollibee Red Bucket Hat – A streetwear must-have that features Jollibee’s embroidered logo front and center. Like Jollibee’s Chickenjoy Bucket, it is fast becoming a brand icon in its own right.
- Day 3: Jollibee Black T-shirt with Red Pocket – Comfort meets cool with this exclusive unisex design that features screen-printed Jollibee logos collaged on the front pocket with the Jolly Bee Mascot peeking out.
Jollibee’s new Arlington location joins its two existing locations in North Texas: Dallas, which opened to great fanfare in November 2023, and Plano, which opened in 2020. As Jollibee continues its expansion across North America, it will be bringing its joy in new markets, like Portland, OR, as well as spreading its joy in regions, like New York City (Queens, NY) and Northern California (Alameda, CA), where demand for the brand is especially high.
Jollibee is the flagship brand of the Jollibee Group, which is on a mission to become one of the top-five restaurant companies in the world, one joyful customer at a time.
