The excitement leading up to Jollibee's first opening in South Edmonton (3803 Calgary Trail NW (Unit 914) Edmonton, AB T6J 7A9) back in 2019 led to customers camping outside as early as three days ahead of the official opening in order to get their hands on Jollibee's delicious menu. Since then, the brand has opened two more locations in the city, including: Jollibee-West Edmonton (17136 90th Avenue, Edmonton, AB T5T 4C8), and Jollibee-Edmonton Kingsway Mall (1 Kingsway Garden Mall Northwest Unit 2003 Edmonton, AB T5G 3A6).
