After years of hoping and craving, Ilonggos may finally be getting what they've long wished forโa ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐น๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐น๐ผ๐ถ๐น๐ผ. And surprisingly, it might not be in Iloilo City but in ๐ข๐๐ผ๐ป, a fast-growing town just outside the metro.
A recent ๐ท๐ผ๐ฏ ๐น๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ via Food Group Careers sparked excitement online, as it mentioned hiring for various Visayas locationsโincluding ๐ข๐๐ผ๐ป, ๐๐น๐ผ๐ถ๐น๐ผ. What caught peopleโs attention is that, unlike other branches typically listed inside malls, this one clearly specifies the locationโsimilar to how KFC lists airport or standalone branches like Tacloban Airport.
While the post doesnโt confirm whether itโs a freestanding branch, the absence of any mention of a mall hints that this could indeed be Iloiloโs first-ever standalone KFC store. (Check the comment section for the job listing.)
๐๐๐ (๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐๐ฐ๐ธ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ป) has been a staple in the Philippines since the 1960s, known for its 11 secret herbs and spices and iconic chicken recipes. It currently operates under RAMCAR Group of Companies, and has expanded to hundreds of locations nationwide.
In Iloilo, KFC has had a modest presence, mainly through mall-based branches like those in ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐น๐ผ๐ถ๐น๐ผ, ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ฃ๐น๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐น๐ผ๐ถ๐น๐ผ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ช๐ฎ๐น๐ธ ๐๐น๐ผ๐ถ๐น๐ผ. However, despite its popularity, the absence of a standalone store has long been a noticeable gapโespecially compared to other fast food chains with drive-thru options and larger dining spaces.
Now, with this new job listing, Ilonggos are keeping their fingers crossed that ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐๐ผ๐ป will mark a new chapterโone that brings fried chicken lovers closer to a dedicated space just for them.
Stay tuned as we await official confirmation. But one thingโs for sure: if this is true, itโs going to be finger-lickinโ good news for Iloilo.
