    Jollibee was able to build its dominant position in fast food in the Philippines for a number of reasons. The company had its roots in the food industry in the Philippines early on with the ice cream business, so the entry barrier into fast food was very low. It was a smooth transition from being ice cream only to fast food after the oil crisis in 1977. This transition was also aided by using a recipe that was developed in the Philippines and was appealing to the markets that were serviced by Jollibee’s. This would eventually be a contributing factor in the competitive advantage Jollibee held over McDonald’s in it’s the Philippins. Jollibee also built itself around the solid foundation of the “Five F’s”. Friendliness, flavorful food, fun atmosphere, flexibility and focus on families summed up Jollibee’s philosophy and allowed for Jollibee to become a recognizable brand throughout the Philippines. The operations and marketing strategies employed by the company can be credited with establishing a dominant position through the previously mentioned actions.…

    Nearly three-quarters of a century ago, two brothers-in-law shared a dream to create an innovative ice cream store that would be a neighborhood gathering place for families. Burton "Burt" Baskin and Irvine "Irv" Robbins had a mutual love of old-fashioned ice cream and the desire to provide customers a variety of flavors made with ingredients of the highest quality in a fun, inviting atmosphere. They started out in separate ventures at the advice of Irv’s father. In 1945, Irv opened Snowbird Ice Cream in Glendale, California. His store featured 21 flavors and emphasized high-quality ice cream sold in a fun, personalized atmosphere. A year later, Burt opened Burton's Ice Cream Shop in Pasadena, CA. By 1948, they had six stores between them. This concept eventually grew into Baskin-Robbins.…

    Jollibee Food Corporation is a Filipino fast food brand that opened in 1975 and has been on the path of expansion since then. IT capitalised on the changes that came its way to fight the competition from brands like McDonalds and KFC. The case highlights the global expansion strategy that they followed backfired due to which they had to consider revamping their strategies.

    We choosed J. Co because it was one of the fastest growing doughnut store here in Manila. According to Saco (2013) “J. Co came here in the Philippines on March 16, 2012, that is almost a year and a half and it has gathered the attention of the consumers and I think that’s the greatest achievement the we have achieved.” It is truly amazing that they had achieved a lot in that short-period of time that’s why we had chosen it. J. Co was originally from Jakarta, Indonesia it was built by Johnny Andrean, a hairstylist and a businessman. J. Co means “Johnny and company” because he has lots of businesses in Indonesia. We can say that J. Co is a successful business because a lot of people wait in line just to get some their doughnuts and it was featured many times on televisions. Saco also added that the looks of their doughnuts have played a role on attracting their target market. We also know that Andrean is a hairstylist so almost all of the doughnuts they sell are appealing to the eyes and have a class. Their doughnuts are also hand-made and the materials that they use goes to a quality test to give the consumer a unique taste. We can see these in their best-selling doughnut “Alcapone”, it was named before the most-wanted gangster in America, it is a ring donut with chocolate garnished with almonds. The other factor that makes them different from other doughnut businesses is that if you buy 2 dozens you can actually save than buying their 1 dozen or only 1 donut. Plus, the name of their business contributes in attracting their business target because they have received different praises from their customers giving them the identity and popularity that they now have. Those people who doesn’t know what brand of doughnut to buy will refer or asks to those who frequently buys doughnuts or search the web for answers so the brand name does play a great role. J. Co doughnuts also maintain the quality of their doughnuts, specially their best-selling, and often create new…
