Jollibee will open at 4809 Beauregard St. in Lincolnia.
The Filipino chicken restaurant Jollibee is bringing its signature Chickenjoy to Alexandria.
Jollibee will open in Lincolnia soon at the intersection of Beauregard Street and Little River Turnpike. The building was previously occupied by Boston Market.
Jollibee has about 40 restaurants in the United States — primarily in California — and more than 1,300 restaurants worldwide.
"Jollibee is best known for Chickenjoy, which is delicately hand-breaded to be crispylicious on the outside, with a secret marinade making it juicylicious on the inside. Every day, our customers revel in the joy of our fan favorites which include our sweet-style Jolly Spaghetti and scrumptious Peach Mango Pie made with real Philippine mangoes," according to the company's website. "Parallel to our mission to spread the joy of eating across the globe, we are all about family. As we expand, we continue to forge partnerships with local community organizations to be a catalyst that spreads joy and the family values we espouse wherever we go."
The only other Jollibee restaurant in Virginia is in Virginia Beach. In Maryland, Jollibee has a restaurant in Wheaton.
In other parts of the United States, Jollibee grand openings have drawn thousands of people, many camped overnight to be first in line.
