"After an 18-month wait since first revealed, Jollibee is finally hiring for its first Henderson stand-alone location on Eastern Avenue at the Eastern Horizon retail center (formerly Eastern Commons), launching a 3,002-square-foot building with a drive-thru and an outdoor patio a short walk across the parking lot from Seafood City Supermarket, Arby’s and El Pollo Loco. Describing itself as the Philippines’ number one fast-food chain, its Filipino-inspired menu has earned a very loyal customer base at its three existing Las Vegas locations (Village Square, the Southwest Marketplace and inside the eastside’s Seafood City), and it’s even famed for including the late Anthony Bourdain among its fans. The Henderson expansion has no firm opening date yet, but long-filed paperwork indicated hopes to operate daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. and to serve its popular menu of “Chickenjoy” fried chicken, spaghetti, “fiesta noodles,” peach mango pies, halo-halo desserts and “breakfast joys.”" - Bradley Martin
