Copycat: Filipinos spot fake Jollibee in China called ‘JoyRulBee’

Jollibee can be found in many parts of the world but the fast food giant doesn’t have branches in mainland China. However, a Filipino couple saw a Jollibee copycat when they were out and about one day — and it’s called JoyRulBee.

Overseas Filipino Worker Christopher Guzman posted photos and a video of the fake Jollibee on Facebook over the weekend, which he saw while out with his wife somewhere in Guangxi province.

 

In the video, Guzman showed that the storefront sports a logo that looks exactly like the OG Jollibee. The interior design of the store also looked like it was inspired by a Jollibee branch. It also offers the same food that is being sold in Jollibee branches: burgers, ice creams, fries, fried chicken, and spaghetti. Unlike in the Philippines however, JoyRulBee offers a whole fried chicken, which Guzman ordered.

 

Guzman also wrote in his caption to a video that it was the first time he’s seen JoyRulBee in the 10 years that he has been living in China.

Both the video and photos have gone viral. The video has been shared more than 2,700 times while the photos have been shared more than 9,700 times.

In a Facebook chat with Coconuts Manila, Guzman refused to divulge the exact location of the store in Guangxi but simply said that he and his wife found it near his workplace.

Sadly, JoyRulBee’s food doesn’t taste as good as the real fast food chain.

“It’s the same style as Jollibee, but the taste is different,” he said. “Jollibee tastes better. It’s almost the same price [compared to the real one].”

Because the taste of the food left him feeling underwhelmed, Guzman said he’s not sure if he’s going back to JoyRulBee.

Netizens think its funny that a company actually had the guts to copy the world-famous Bee. Frances Pobre wrote: “China, you copy everything!”
