Canadians will be able to enjoy even more crispy chicken and Jolly spaghetti soon. New Jollibee Canada locations are opening to end off the year and there are plans for even more expansion across the country. Plus, there are new exclusive giveaways to celebrate the new locations. To end off what the restaurant calls a "record-breaking year for the brand in North America", the brand is opening its fourth location in the Greater Toronto Area on December 20 and its first-ever store in Saskatchewan on December 22. The new stores in Vaughan and Regina are just two components of Jollibee's expansion into Canada. "It's important for us to make Jollibee as accessible as possible to our customers so we're working to have a presence in all the major provinces in Canada," Maribeth Dela Cruz, President of Jollibee Foods Corporation for North America, said in a news release. "We knew Saskatchewan had to be next on our list as this province has a strong Filipino community and continues to grow," said Dela Cruz."We cannot wait to bring our fellow Filipinos a 'taste of home' and encourage Regina locals to come see for themselves why our delicious Jolly Crispy Chicken is so sought after."

But the fast-food brand has big plans for Canada and wants to have 100 stores open in Canada by 2023. They first opened in Canada back in 2016 and new locations have popped up in Ontario, Alberta and Manitoba since then.

MORE LIKE JOLLIBAE! 🤪 Finally boarded the HYPE train and made our way down to the popular Filipino fast food chain, Jollibee, to try their famous fried chicken and jolly spaghetti!! 🍗🍝 Hailed as the McDonald's of the Philippines, this restaurant has been insanely busy ever since it opened last month in YEG 🤯 We went on a weekday and waited around ~1 hour in line. If you go on a weekend, expect the line-ups to be long (bring a lawnchair LOL). FYI: They give you a menu as well as take your order while you're in line! 📝 🎀: CRISPYLICIOUS CHICKENJOY! 😍 We couldn't resist their chicken even if we FRIED. If you're wondering what to order: try these classic dishes! 1️⃣ Sweet style spaghetti— unique and delicious... a highly satisfying comfort dish. 🍝 2️⃣ Fried chicken is an absolute must! Their chicken is actually breaded to be so fresh and crispy. 🍖 3️⃣ Lastly, try their peach mango pie for dessert... somewhat pricey but it's SO delectable you can't pass it up. 🍑 🤔 LET'S BEE REAL HERE... IS JOLLIBEE WORTH TRYING? We personally think the food lives up to its' expectations and is actually quite good 😛❤️ but tbh not worth lining up more than 30 mins-1 hour for! Wait until the hype dies down... then go FRY it for yourself!! 😇 💖: FOOD + PRICE: 8.5/10 ✩ | SERVICE: 9/10 ✩ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ #yegfood #yegeats #yegfoodie #yeg #edmonton #780 #780food #edmontonfood #edmontoneats #edmontonfoodie #exploreyeg #yegfoodblogger #yeglocal #yelpedmonton #yegger #yegdate #allidoiseat #foodie #foodstagram #foodporn #instafood #exporeedmonton #yeggersindulge #edmontonliving #foodblogger #jollibee #jollibeefriedchicken #jollibeecanada #jollibeeyeg A post shared by MICHELLE² | YEG FOODIES ｡◕ᴗ◕｡✿ (@michytwobites) on Sep 28, 2019 at 11:56pm PDT At the fast-food brand's most recent openings in Edmonton and Calgary in August and September, people were so excited that they actually lined up outside the stores before they opened just to get a taste of what Jollibee has to offer. To celebrate the opening of the new stores, there is a bunch of exclusive access like an advance tasting for select customers at the Regina store and exciting giveaways like Jollibee Funko Pop! figures, other collectibles, and a year's supply of Jolly Crispy Chicken. The new location in Vaughan will be in the Promenade shopping mall in Thornhill and the Regina store will be at 2830 Quance Street. There are stories everywhere.
