Jollibee Foods Corporation was founded in 1978 by Tony Tan Caktiong, who opened the first Jollibee restaurant in Quezon City, Philippines. The restaurant served Filipino-inspired fast food, including fried chicken, hamburgers, and local favorites that appealed to Filipino consumers.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Jollibee expanded across the Philippines, becoming the country's leading fast food chain. The company went public on the Philippine Stock Exchange in 1993, raising capital for continued expansion.

In the 2000s and 2010s, JFC expanded its portfolio through acquisitions. The company acquired Chowking (Chinese-inspired fast food), Red Ribbon (bakery), and Mang Inasal (Filipino grilled chicken). In 2016, JFC acquired the Burger King franchise in the Philippines.

JFC expanded internationally through strategic acquisitions. The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf was acquired in 2019, giving JFC a presence in the premium coffee and tea segment. Smashburger, a US-based better-burger chain, was acquired in 2018. Highlands Coffee, primarily operating in Vietnam, was acquired in 2012. Tim Ho Wan, the Michelin-starred dim sum chain, was added through a joint venture. Milksha, a Taiwanese bubble tea brand, was acquired in 2021.

In 2024, JFC acquired Compose Coffee, a South Korean coffee chain, in a deal valued at approximately PHP 18 billion (approximately $260 million). Compose Coffee had approximately 2,200 stores at the time of acquisition and has since grown to 2,972 stores by end of 2025, making it one of JFC's largest brands by store count. The acquisition is on track to deliver a 36% Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) in 2025.
