Set in a vibrant district in southeast Queens, the Jamaica neighborhood offers a wide variety of independent businesses that reflect the diverse population that calls the area home. Queens is the largest and fastest growing of New York City’s five boroughs and Jollibee will be positioned at the heart of this neighborhood in close proximity to York College and amongst the hundreds of businesses that serve the area. This store marks the brand’s 59th U.S. location and joins its two existing New York City locations – Manhattan (609 8th Avenue) and Woodside, Queens (6229 Roosevelt Avenue). Jollibee store openings in the U.S. and around the world are known for drawing massive crowds, which was the case when Jollibee first opened its doors in Manhattan in 2018; despite the cold, rainy weather, hundreds of hungry fans waited up to 20 hours to be among the first in line on opening day.
