"After two years in the making, the fourth local expansion of Filipino fast-food experts Jollibee is back on track in Henderson, bringing its “chickenjoy” menu to a stand-alone, single-lane drive-thru restaurant at the Easter Commons retail center. The 3,103-square-foot building — which recently applied to the City of Henderson for freestanding signage — will be easy to spot, decorated with the smiling face of its cheery bee mascot, and is predicted to open during the fourth quarter of this year. It sits close to the intersection of Eastern Avenue and Horizon Ridge Parkway, across the parking lot from Seafood City and Bad Owl Coffee. The global chain also operates a location inside the eastside’s Seafood City supermarket on Maryland Parkway and drive-thrus at Village Square and on Rainbow Boulevard, with the Southwest restaurant featuring a very similar layout and design to the new Henderson home. Customers can expect the full counter-service menu of fried chicken pieces, “jolly spaghetti,” langhap-sarap burgers, palabok noodle dishes, burger patties covered with mushroom gravy, hot dogs, breakfast specials, and halo-halo and peach mango pies for dessert." - Bradley Martin
