"Set to open this summer at 729 Seventh Street in Downtown LA, the beloved Filipino fast-food chain Jollibee will sit across the street from the Bloc at Seventh and Flower, a prime, transit-accessible retail corridor. The centrally placed Downtown location is part of a rapid expansion wave designed to help Angelenos get to know the brand better — ideally by consuming more fried chicken, peach mango pie, and Filipino spaghetti — and is targeting a summer opening date. Jollibee reported plans in 2019 to place its U.S. headquarters in West Covina and triple its number of outlets within four years, and it added Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf to its portfolio in 2019 with a $350 million purchase; the chain currently operates locations in Eagle Rock, Panorama City, Alhambra, and East Hollywood." - Mona Holmes
