Jollibee Now Offers ‘Eat Now, Pay Later’ Option

Posted on by admin

Fast-food giant Jollibee Foods Corporation has introduced a new, more flexible way for customers to enjoy their favorite meals—paying later.

In partnership with Atome Philippines, the brand officially launched its “Eat Now, Pay Later” option at its Jollibee BGC Triangle Drive branch. The launch was led by Reynaldo Gabunada Jr., Head of Jollibee Philippines’ Regional Business Unit and National Key Accounts Group, and Christian Eugene Quiros, President and General Manager of Atome Philippines.

“EAT NOW, PAY LATER – pwede na sa Jollibee!”

With the new offering, customers can now use their Atome Card in more than 1,300 Jollibee stores nationwide and settle their payments up to 40 days later—with zero interest.

“Now, you can use your Atome Card in 1,300+ Jollibee stores nationwide and pay up to 40 days later, 0% interest.”

The move reflects a growing trend among retailers and service providers to adopt “buy now, pay later” solutions, giving consumers more flexibility in managing their expenses.

“Tara, Jollibee na, Atome cardholders! ”

As digital payment options continue to evolve, this partnership signals Jollibee’s push to make dining more convenient and accessible for its customers across the country.

PH Private Label Grocery Sales to Hit $896M in 2025 — USDA Report

Posted on by admin

Total F&B groceries seen at $12.8B 


The country’s private label grocery market is projected to reach $896 million this year, according to a report by the USDA-Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) Manila.

Private label products accounted for 7 percent of total food and beverage (F&B) grocery sales in the Philippines.

Total F&B grocery sales are projected to reach $12.8 billion in the Philippines this year, a 5 percent year-on-year increase, FAS Manila office said in a report dated Jan. 15.

“This growth is expected to continue at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5 percent over the next five years, outpacing the broader Asia Pacific market’s projected CAGR of 4 percent,” according to the FAS Manila.

Private labels are products manufactured or packaged for sale under the name of the retailer rather than that of the manufacturer.

“With some grocery operators aiming to double their private label portfolios within the next five years, significant opportunities exist for exporters to supply US food and beverage products under both US and grocers’ private label brands,” FAS Manila said.

In the past five years, private label products have made up an average of 7 to 10 percent of grocery food and beverage sales in the Philippines which is higher than the Asia Pacific average of 6 percent, FAS Manila said. 

The USDA-FAS Manila regularly reports on food and beverage grocery sales, including private labels, to help American exporters identify existing opportunities for the products in the Philippine market.

As of end-2024, SM Markets, Puregold Price Club and Robinsons Retail dominated the food and beverage grocery sector, which collectively accounted for 50 percent market share in terms of grocery operators, it added.
SM Markets accounted for a 22 percent share through its outlets such as SM Supermarket and Hypermarket, Savemore Supermarket, Alfamart convenience store and Waltermart Supermarket which carries private label brands such as SM Bonus, Alfa Savers and Everyday.

Puregold Price Club had a 16 percent share. Its stores include Puregold Supermarket, Hypermarket and S&R Membership Club selling private label brands like Pure Basics, Member’s Value and Fresh Pick.

Robinsons Retail covered 12 percent of the market. The company operates Robinsons Supermarket, Marketplace Supermarket, Shopwise Hypermarket and Uncle John’s convenience store, with private label brands Surebuy and Healthy You.

Independent grocery operators having a single grocery brand, such as 7-Eleven, Metro Retail Store Group, Super8, Landers and Prince Retail Group, cornered 14 percent of the market.

The remaining 36 percent share was spread over   more than 1.3 million micro-operators located throughout the country.

Kopi Kenangan to Enter the Philippines and India

Posted on by admin

Indonesian coffee chain Kopi Kenangan – also known as Kenangan Coffee – is expanding its global footprint, beginning with the launch of its first stores in India and the Philippines.

The company will open its first Philippine store in October at SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City.

In India, Kopi Kenangan will make its debut early next year through a licensing agreement with a local F&B business. However, specific details have yet to be finalised. 

During its initial expansion phase in Southeast Asia, the company said it would focus on establishing at least 10 stores in shopping centres.

“Our expansion into Malaysia and Singapore is a testament to our commitment to serving quality coffee to more people around the world,” said Edward Tirtanata, founder and CEO of Kopi Kenangan.

“Moving forward, we hope to continue expanding our reach by opening 500 international Kenangan Coffee outlets across various countries,” he said.

Founded in 2017, Kopi Kenangan is one of the largest branded coffee chains in Indonesia, with more than  900 outlets across 60 cities.

The brand made its international debut in Malaysia in 2022, followed by an expansion into Singapore last year, where it currently operates 48 and seven locations, respectively.
