In March 2008, it located its first self-owned Jollibee brand restaurant in China in Shenzhen. Before that, the company has opened its Chun Shui Tang tea house in Shanghai. By August 23, 2008, the company had finished its complete acquisition of Beijing Hongzhuangyuan porridge store chain. So far, Jollibee has about 150 outlets of the four brands in China, of these stores, 108 are YongHe King restaurants and 33 are Hongzhuangyuan porridge store.

A representative from Jollibee said that the company would continue to implement acquisitions in the Chinese market while integrating its acquired brands. In addition, the company plans to set up a food processing plant in Shanghai to provide research support for its four brands.
