The Jollibee Group said four of its brands were named among America’s favorite restaurant chains for 2023.
Jollibee said in a statement Newsweek, a premier news magazine and website, together with global data firm Statista, named Jollibee, Chowking, Smashburger and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf among the best in their selected categories.
“We are honored that our brands are included in this list of most favorite restaurant chains in the United States. We thank our customers for their continued support, resulting in this citation that inspires us even more in our mission of serving great-tasting food, bringing the joy of eating to everyone,” said Jollibee Group president and chief executive Ernesto Tanmantiong.
The 2023 ranking was determined based on the results of an independent survey among over 4,000 customers and employees of restaurant chains in the United States. The respondents were asked to indicate which restaurant chains they would recommend among three ethnic cuisines and 13 dish categories.
The three ethnic cuisines include Chinese, Italian and Tex-Mex; while the 13 dish categories consist of BBQ, burgers, chicken, coffee/tea/baked goods, ice cream/frozen yogurt, juice and smoothies, noodles and ramen, pizza, sandwiches, seafood, soup, steak and sushi.
