With over 3,000 stores around the world, Jollibee is a major success story for Philippines. The multi-national Fast Food Chain known best for its fried chicken (Chicken Joy) and signature sweet Spaghetti, among several other items, has come to be adored around the world.

Jollibee launched its first-ever Toronto location Sunday, April 1, 2018 with little notice and what resulted was thousands of ardent fans queuing over night for a chance to be the first to re-live that nostalgia – a taste of home. It is reported that the approximate wait time to get into the establishment was seven hours! This is no April Fool’s joke!

While admittedly the menu doesn’t offer anything remarkable or innovative, Jollibee takes American favourites and gives them a distinct Asian spin. Fans of the Brand have connected deeply with it and what it lacks in refined sophistication, it more than makes up for in giving the Filipino community a warm sense of nostalgia and belonging.  We pride Toronto as being an inclusive and diverse place and there always is room for more flavours in our remarkable City!

Fortunately, our wait was only 90 minutes even though we anticipated it being much longer.

Watch our Story:

Jollibee Toronto is located at 15 William Kitchen Road in Scarborough, Ontario and they are open 7 AM to midnight. Hours are subject to change.

Although the arrangement initially works, it soon becomes clear that for the young girl to stay and continue satisfying her needs, the older woman will have to employ immoral tactics.

It was an awesome Easter/Passover Long Weekend in Toronto. Some stars arrived back in town, some stayed in town!

As production is set to resume on the eighth season of acclaimed Series Suits this week, Amanda Schull who stars as Katrina Bennett and was upgraded recently to a Series Regular, made her way back to town with husband George Wilson. With stars Patrick J. Adams and Meagan Markle exiting the Series, we see some exciting additions to the Cast like Katherine Heigl (Grey’s Anatomy) who just arrived last week.

See our Snap:

While Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy continues to film around town through July and potentially August, we haven’t seen many of its stars around but one interesting thing is that Mindhunter star Cameron Britton has been cast as Hazel in the Series based on My Chemical Romance Frontman Gerard Way‘s Comic Book Series. Other recent additions include R&B Queen and Actress Mary J. Blige.

The Cast of Shazam! continue to make a splash around the City and we love following how big a family they’ve become over Social Media, bonding over TV, Movies and game nights. They even went to CN Tower together last week and also had a special private screening of Ready Player One at Warner Bros. Pictures Canada‘s Head Office uptown. Film wraps May.

Some Snaps:

Marta Milans

Cooper Andrews

Grace Fulton

Ian Chen

The Cast largely have been really nice to fans and we have been extra cautious with the younger talent ensuring their caretakers and parents were okay with photos.

A Reader who requested to remain anonymous sent us this Snap of Zachary Levi in-costume as he filmed on-location a while back. The costume appears faithful to the original Comics. Dare we say it may even veer a bit to the nostalgic/campy?

Expect a huge unveil July at San Diego Comic Con after it wraps here in May. Warner Bros. Pictures Canada release SHAZAM! April 2019.
