LOS ANGELES, Calif.&nbsp; —&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-wright-53808a2b/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-growth-peter-wright-2730632" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Peter Wright</a>, a franchising veteran with Starbucks, Panera Bread, McAlister’s Deli and Nestlé, has joined&nbsp;<a href="http://www.jollibeegroup.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-growth-peter-wright-2730632" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Jollibee Group</a> North America as vice president of franchising. With a rich background in multi-unit restaurant development, Wright will now use his experience to lead&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/jollibee/info">Jollibee’s</a> ambitious plan to establish 500 units across North America by 2030.“I first learned of Jollibee through networking with a former colleague from Starbucks,” Wright said. “Like many Americans, even though I had driven by them, I did not know the Jollibee name. When I first visited the restaurants, I was highly impressed by the food quality, the cleanliness of the restaurants and the welcoming staff. The best part is that once someone visits a Jollibee, they love it. There’s a very intense, almost cult-like fan base for this brand.”The guests’ affinity for the brand, combined with the long history of the business model and its consistent success across varied markets, positions it well for a bright future across the U.S., and Wright says he’s excited to capitalize on this growth potential.“A core strength of Jollibee is its successful operation of over 100 company-owned units in North America, serving as proof of concept,” he said. “Jollibee has 25 years of operating experience in the United States, which indicates they’ve cracked the code for success in the market. Jollibee offers significant white space across North America for multi-unit operators looking to enter the fried chicken business with a proven concept.”Referring to Jollibee as “the best franchise opportunity you’ve never heard of,” Wright says he plans to work diligently to raise awareness about the brand and growth opportunity for prospective owners while maintaining a remarkable support structure as new franchisees join the system.“We’ll participate in industry conferences; seek opportunities on podcasts, social media and business press; and conduct direct outreach to qualified multi-unit operators,” he said. “We’re looking to substantially increase our footprint across the United States, and leveraging top-level operators with intimate market experience will allow us to drive that growth while maintaining the Jollibee quality and experience our guests love.”About Jollibee GroupJollibee Foods Corporation (JFC), also known as the Jollibee Group, is one of the world’s fastest-growing restaurant companies, with a mission to deliver great-tasting food, bringing the joy of eating through its 19 brands with over 10,000 stores across 33 countries.&nbsp;The Jollibee Group’s portfolio includes nine wholly owned brands (Jollibee, Chowking, Greenwich, Red Ribbon, Mang Inasal, Yonghe King, Hong Zhuang Yuan, Smashburger and Tim Ho Wan), five franchised brands (Burger King, Panda Express, Yoshinoya, Common Man Coffee Roasters, and Tiong Bahru Bakery in the Philippines), and ownership stakes in other key brands like The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (80%), Compose Coffee (70%), SuperFoods Group that operates Highlands Coffee (60%), and bubble tea brand Milkshake (51%).
