Good news for fans of Filipino fast-food joint Jollibee: the highly anticipated restaurant location on Granville Street is finally opening this week.

Dished Vancouver was the first to report the news of the new downtown Vancouver restaurant back in spring 2020.

At that time, Dished confirmed that Jollibee’s first BC location was slated to open at 833 Granville Street, the former location of ShuRaku Sake Bar & Bistro, which closed in September 2018.

In 2019, the brand announced big expansion plans. At that time, the company aimed to have 250 Jollibee stores open across North America by 2023.

Jollibee says the Vancouver opening is a critical part of its Canadian expansion, as the city has the second-largest Canadian-Filipino population in the country.

The brand plans to open two more locations in BC this year: Cambie and West Broadway in Vancouver and Strawberry Hill Shopping Centre complex in Surrey.
