In case you haven’t heard, the famous Champ burger of Jollibee Foods Corporation will soon cease to exist.
Late Thursday evening, the fast food chain confirmed this by releasing a statement online. Its famous 1/3 pounder classic burger will no longer be served in all branches to pave way for an improved burger line. “We are working on big and exciting things this year for our burgers line to delight and bring greater joy to our customers,” the statement said.
The Champ, along with the Yumburger, Chicken Joy, French Fries, and Jollibee Spaghetti, is one of the classics on Jollibee’s original menu. It wasn’t stated when exactly the Champ burger will be phased out. Rest assured though, this beloved item might not be gone for good.
“Our product offerings are being reviewed regularly to meet customer demands so there’s always a chance that old Jollibee classics—including the Champ—may return in the future,” the statement ended.
With over 1,150 stores, Jollibee is one of the largest and popular fast food chains in the country. It also has branches in several countries like the US, Canada, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Hong Kong, and Singapore. (Kristelle Bechayda)
