Jollibee, the wildly popular Filipino fast food chain, will open the doors to its second branch in Abu Dhabi on February 8.
The new branch is on the corner of Al Falah Street and Muroor Road (4th Street/Sultan Bin Zayed the First Street) in Al Marjan Tower, near Panaderia Bakery. This will be Jollibee’s flagship store in the UAE.
Jollibee’s most popular dishes include the Jolly Spaghetti, the Chickenjoy and the Yum! Burgers.
When Jollibee opened its first UAE outlet in the Dubai Mall in 2015, customers lined up for hours to get a taste. It was the company’s most successful opening worldwide with record-breaking sales of the Chickenjoy and Jolly spaghetti.
The first Jollibee store in Abu Dhabi opened in Mushrif Mall in December. There are three other outlets in Dubai. The company has plans to have 30 Jollibee outlets in the UAE, and more than 100 stores in the GCC, by 2020.

A plume of black smoke rose from a fuel storage facility in the village of Kalynivka outside Kyiv on Friday after Russia said it had destroyed the military site with Kalibr cruise missiles.
"On the evening of March 24, Kalibr high-precision sea-based cruise missiles attacked a fuel base in the village of Kalynivka near Kyiv," the Russian defence ministry said in a statement.
Ukraine confirmed the strike, saying the village some 40 kilometres south-west of Kyiv was targeted.

TEACHERS' PAY - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Pay varies significantly depending on the school, its rating and the curriculum. Here's a rough guide as of January 2021:
- top end schools tend to pay Dh16,000-17,000 a month - plus a monthly housing allowance of up to Dh6,000. These tend to be British curriculum schools rated 'outstanding' or 'very good', followed by American schools
- average salary across curriculums and skill levels is about Dh10,000, recruiters say
- it is becoming more common for schools to provide accommodation, sometimes in an apartment block with other teachers, rather than hand teachers a cash housing allowance
- some strong performing schools have cut back on salaries since the pandemic began, sometimes offering Dh16,000 including the housing allowance, which reflects the slump in rental costs, and sheer demand for jobs
- maths and science teachers are most in demand and some schools will pay up to Dh3,000 more than other teachers in recognition of their technical skills
- at the other end of the market, teachers in some Indian schools, where fees are lower and competition among applicants is intense, can be paid as low as Dh3,000 per month
- in Indian schools, it has also become common for teachers to share residential accommodation, living in a block with colleagues
