Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC), one of the world’s fastest-growing restaurant companies, officially inaugurated its newest state-of-the-art food commissary in Brgy. Guinsay, Danao City. This landmark facility is designed to significantly enhance regional food supply resilience while catalyzing economic development across the Visayas and Mindanao regions.
The new Danao City commissary serves as a strategic hub for JFC’s supply chain, equipped with advanced processing technologies to ensure the highest standards of food safety and quality. By localized production, the facility reduces logistical lead times and ensures that the growing demand for JFC’s well-loved brands—including Jollibee, Mang Inasal, and Chowking—is met with consistent efficiency.
The launch of the facility brings a substantial boost to the local labor market and agricultural sector:
-
Job Creation: Hundreds of direct jobs have been created for residents of Danao City and neighboring municipalities, ranging from specialized technical roles to administrative and logistical positions.
-
Agricultural Integration: The commissary will tap into local supply chains, providing Cebuano farmers and raw material suppliers with a stable, high-volume market for their produce.
-
Infrastructure Investment: The presence of a world-class manufacturing site in Danao City positions the area as a prime destination for further industrial investment.
For Joseph Tanbuntiong, President of JFC Philippines, the opening of this facility represents a long-term commitment to the Filipino people that goes beyond simple business expansion. “This milestone is not just about new jobs; it is about bigger growth, stronger investments, and a brighter future for the Visayas and Mindanao,” said Tanbuntiong. “By strengthening our manufacturing footprint here in Cebu, we are ensuring that we can serve our customers better while contributing meaningfully to the nation’s food security and regional economic resilience.”
The Danao commissary is part of JFC’s broader strategy to future-proof its operations against global supply chain disruptions. By investing in regional hubs, the company is able to maintain price stability and product availability, ensuring that the “Joy of Eating” remains accessible to all Filipinos.
