Filipino Restaurant Jollibee’s First Michigan Location Opens on January 12 | Eater Detroit

"After years of anticipation, I’m excited that the wildly popular Filipino fast-food chain Jollibee will open its first Michigan location at 44945 Woodridge Drive in Sterling Heights on January 12, with an opening celebration scheduled from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. According to a social media post, the first 100 customers who spend at least $20 will receive free Chickenjoy — the chain’s signature fried chicken — every month for a year. I’d expect huge crowds for anyone looking to get their spaghetti and peach mango pie fixes that day; the metro Detroit location was a long time in the making, with plans first announced in late 2021 but delayed until recent job postings hinted the opening was imminent. The restaurant is being built in a former Denny’s adjacent to Lakeside Mall." - Serena Maria Daniels
