Calgary's first-ever Jollibee is opening on Friday morning at 7 a.m. and the city is buzzing with excitement. Some people are taking to the internet to express their enthusiasm, while others have already started lining up outside the Calgary Jollibee. Seriously, there is already a line outside Calgary's first Jollibee at 999 36th St. N.E. If you're not familiar with the cult-favourite fast-food chain, here's what you need to know. Jollibee is a Filipino chain that has been absolutely blowing up in Canada in 2019. After locations have opened in Toronto and Edmonton, Jollibee announced their arrival in Calgary, tweeting "It's your turn, Calgary. We're opening! September 20th" on September 11. Jollibee is known for their Jolly Crispy Chicken, Jolly Spaghetti, Peach Mango Pie, and a whole lot more. With classic chicken buckets and unique Filipino-inspired offerings, Jollibee is something everyone needs to experience. When Edmonton's location opened, a man was camped out for days leading up to the grand opening. Though Calgarians weren't quite as diligent, they are there now and ready to fill up on Jollibee on Friday morning. Calgarians are fired up to get in the doors of Calgary's first-ever Jollibee. On Wednesday night at 11 p.m., a local tweeted that people were already camped out in front of the new location. On Thursday morning, a Jollibee representative sent Narcity photos of a few die-hard fans in front of the restaurant. holy frick people are actually camping outta jollibee in calgary— matty (@daleparanoid) September 19, 2019 Jollibee | Handout You better believe it.
