They operate a few locations in New Jersey (Jersey City, Edison and East Rutherford). Plus, Jollibee recently opened in Times Square, New York City.

Friday's opening, however, marks the first for the chain in the Delaware Valley.

The new eatery will be located inside the Great Northeast Plaza, which has been undergoing a large renovation for the past year or so. It's in the busy area of Bustleton Avenue and Roosevelt Blvd in the Northeast.

They're scheduled to open at 9 a.m. on Friday, with the first 50 guests receiving a free chicken promotion.

What Is Jollibee?

The restaurant is known for its fast-casual dining take on common Filipino dishes. Some of their signature products include:

• The Yumburger - This is a hamburger, with a beef patty that's topped with mayonnaise.
• The Chickenjoy - This is served as a breaded crispy fried chicken meal, and it has various options. Those options include being served with rice and gravy, fries, buttered corn, or with spaghetti.
• Jolly Spaghetti - That's a Filipino sweet-style interpretation of spaghetti. They describe it as the "meatiest, cheesiest spaghetti. It includes pieces of hotdog and ham.

This likely won't be their last location in the Delaware Valley. They previously announced plans to open at least 500 new eateries across the world this year (in 2022).
