Lady Camped 3 Days to Be First in Line Before the Jollibee Branch in Arizona Opens
Lady from the Philippines camped for 3 days at the Jollibee branch in Arizona just to be the first in line before it officially opens.
Irene Daguio Ballesteros-Shields loves the Filipino fast-food chain so much she decided to camp out for three nights, ensuring she’ll be first in line at the grand opening of Arizona’s first Jollibee in Chandler on Dec. 28.
For Irene, the Jollibee opening on Germann Road in Chandler, Arizona is not just about food. She said it brought back good memories of her childhood in the Philippines.
“It’s like a reunion even if you don’t know anybody,” she said.
Although Irene’s home was close to the opening of the Jollibee branch its just 10 minutes away, she made sure she was the first in line to open it. The highly anticipated new restaurant is scheduled to open at 7 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 28, based on the article of AZCentral.
She said that after her family’s Christmas celebration, she immediately went to Jollibee to line up. At first she set up a tent near entrance, but the security guard at the shopping mall where the fast-food restaurant was located told him that she should stay in the car.
Because of her dedication, Jollibee staff promised her that she would be given extra collectible memorabilia on opening day. The highly anticipated new restaurant is scheduled to open at 7 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 28, based on the article of AZCentral.
Every night her husband accompanied her after work and some friends bring him food and socks to warm her. She was also replaced by her friend in line so she could shower in her home.
According to Jollibee USA, the first 50 customers at its grand opening for $ 25 or more will win “One Year of Joy” or a six-piece bucket of Chickenjoy every month for a year.
