Market Street is set to get a brand new resident.
We may already be pretty content with all the Kentucky fried glory that Colonel Sanders has to offer, but Asia’s favourite fried chicken joint – Jollibee – is set to roll into town very soon, taking up a vacant plot on Manchester’s busy Market Street.
Offering ‘fast food favourites’ with a ‘Filipino flair’, the Philippines-born fast food restaurant serves up quite the array of dishes – not only specialising in hand-breaded fried chicken, but also serving up wraps, rice bowls, beef burgers, hot dog spaghetti, loaded fries and so much more.
Branching out to the UK just three years ago, Jollibee has found success across London, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle and more, with Edinburgh, Glasgow and Manchester set to follow suit really soon.
Menu highlights that boast Jollibee’s signature ‘tropical’ twist include their Tropical Chicken Burger – topped with fried chicken, pineapple and Asian ginger chilli sauce – alongside their Sriracha loaded fries and hot dog topped spaghetti.
Little is currently known about when Jollibee Manchester will open however, what we do know is that it will be taking over the former Carphone Warehouse location on Market Street early in 2022.
