Red Ribbon (Bakeshop)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Red Ribbon Bakeshop is a popular fast-food chain in the Philippines and the United States, offering a wide range of cakes and pastries. The chain began in 1979 in Quezon City along Timog Avenue and started franchising in 1999. In 1984, they opened their first US branch in West Covina, California.
Today, there are more than 80 branches all over the Philippines, and there are now 15 stores all over California and plans of expansion are being worked out.
In 2005, Red Ribbon was acquired by Jollibee Foods Corporation, a conglomerate of popular fast-food chains in the Philippines.
A line from their website runs: (in vernacular)
"Ang sweet mo talaga." Yan ang salubong ng iyong pamilya (sabay yakap), tuwing uwi mo galing Red Ribbon: cake, ensaimada, mamon, empanada, palabok, halo-halo, ube shake, mango bars at iba pa. Walang hihigit sa kabusugan ng puso mo, kapag Red Ribbon ang nasa hapag kainan, sa ngiti nila'y... nasa langit ka. Sikat ka sa potluck parties, kamag-anak, ka-barkada o ka-opisina man, basta't Red Ribbon ang dala mo.
