Annyeong, Philippines! Jollibee Group to Launch Compose Coffee
Metro Manila, Philippines, February 13, 2026 – Jollibee Foods Corporation (PSE: JFC) – Jollibee Foods Corporation, one of the fastest-growing restaurant companies, announced today that its subsidiary, Fresh N’ Famous Foods, Inc. (FNF), has entered into a Master Franchise Agreement to bring Compose Coffee to the Philippines. The introduction of the brand to the market through its franchising network forms part of the Jollibee Group’s strategy to strengthen its position in the high-growth coffee and beverage segment.
Compose Coffee originated in South Korea, where it first opened in 2014 with a focus on making quality coffee more accessible for everyone. Since its launch, the brand has expanded rapidly to more than 3,000 stores, fueled by strong consumer demand and a highly efficient, scalable operating model. Its menu is anchored on well-loved favorites such as Americanos and flavored lattes, complemented by distinctive Korean innovations that keep the offering fresh and relevant. In its home market, Compose Coffee is recognized as the No. 1 coffee brand in customer satisfaction—a testament to its strong consumer relevance and consistent operational excellence.
A core pillar of Compose Coffee is its dedication to mastering the production of quality coffee. The brand operates one of Korea’s most advanced smart roasting systems—enabling a precise end-to-end process from bean selection, roasting profiles, to flavor consistency across its store network. This commitment to craftsmanship is complemented by strong branding initiatives, including a high-profile partnership with V of BTS, one of the leading figures in K-pop, which has helped elevate the brand’s cultural relevance and resonance in its home market. These reinforce Compose Coffee’s focus on creating strong customer connections, operational efficiency, and consistent product quality at scale.
Jollibee Group Philippines Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Joseph Tanbuntiong said:“We are extremely excited to introduce Compose Coffee to the Philippines this 2026, aligned with its mission of making high-quality coffee more accessible to consumers. This planned launch strengthens one of our key strategic growth pillars—the coffee and tea segment—and positions the Jollibee Group to play a more meaningful role in our customers’ daily routines. We look forward to bringing more moments of joy to Filipinos through innovative, world-class beverage experiences.”
Richard Shin, Chief Financial and Risk Officer and CEO of Jollibee Group International, added: “Compose Coffee’s entry into the Philippines reflects the Jollibee Group’s commitment to scaling brands with strong global potential. In every market where it operates, we’ve seen a disciplined operating model and deep focus on product quality that creates a repeatable formula for growth. We’re excited to bring that momentum to the Philippines and introduce more consumers to a brand that delivers both excellence and accessibility in every cup.”
