    Jollibee’s first-ever Level Up Joy Store transports us to the future

    For Pinoys, nothing brings a more joyful dining experience much like Jollibee. From the feeling of being home, to the familiar taste of our classic langhap-sarap favorites, it’s no doubt that every visit is as jolly and memorable as it can be.

    Katipunan gets a funkier touch with Jollibee’s first-ever Level Up Joy Store.

    Now, the country’s number one fast-food chain is about to level up the joy—with a newly-designed concept store featuring modern innovations set out to give customers a hip and funky dining experience.

    It’s the same Jollibee we all know and love, made better.

    Standing along the stretch of Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City, the Jollibee Level Up Joy Store is the first of its kind. From the outside, one can easily spot the state-of-the-art facade of this new and improved Jollibee branch.

    The Jollibee Level Up Joy Store is a themed space that brims of art, good food, and joyful experiences, perfect for hanging out with the barkada and the family.

    Inside, the young and the young-at-hearts are certainly up for a visual thrill as vibrant and artistic murals welcome them as they enter Jollibee’s Level Up Joy Store. It also houses geometric floor tiles and mirrorlike lighting, as well as contemporary seating and industrial fixtures. Surely, every angle would be a perfect spot to snap an Instagram photo or two!

    On the second floor, the new home of Jollibee in Katipunan brims with two functionally-themed party rooms. The walls feature eclectic artworks of Jollibee and Friends, giving every birthday celebrant an elevated Jollibee Kids Party experience.

    Jollibee Kids Party celebrations are about to get more joyful as colorful murals paint the walls of the Jollibee Level Up Joy Store.

    Adding to the store’s youthful feel are the new-fashioned service platforms designed to guarantee customer joy in every step. Three digital self-service kiosks stand in front of the Jollibee Level Up Joy Store counter, where guests can find a quick and efficient way to place their food orders without having to go through long queues. These kiosks also allow cashless transactions, so one can conveniently secure their payments with just a tap of their debit or credit cards.

    Low battery? No problem! Wireless charging pads are built-in to the tables of the Jollibee’s first-ever Level Up Joy Store. With this new and exciting feature, people can definitely stay connected with their family and friends while savoring their most-loved langhap-sarap meals.

    Joan Aquino, Jollibee PH Metro North RBU Head shares that, “Our customers have always been the priority of Jollibee, and with that, we are not just introducing numerous innovations, but we’re also ramping up our branded customer service—Alagang Jollibee—to ensure that warm and welcoming feeling every time you enter a Jollibee store.”

  • “Intensify your office #OOTD with these edgy styling staples”

    “Intensify your office #OOTD with these edgy styling staples”

    There will come a point in one’s lives that their wardrobe will be dominated by corporate clothes, seeing that 80% of their days are spent in the office. But this doesn’t mean one has to get stuck with uptight outfits that do not exude style.

    Here are wardrobe staples that will keep you looking professional and confident without sacrificing style.

    The Classics

    Nothing says classy more than the classics. Make sure to have on hand a pair of pumps in black and nude, as these can match any attire and give off a sleek look. Likewise, it’s a must to have a well-fitting little black dress that can easily go from day to night.

    A professional tote

    A tote bag that’s big and durable enough to fit all the work files and possibly even double as a laptop bag is another OOTD staple. It’s ideal to get this all-time favorite work bag in black to suit any occasion and outfit.

    Smartphone with deluxe design

    An item that goes hand in hand with one’s nine-to-five is a smartphone. Leave complicated color schemes behind and stick to those in neutral colors. Embrace simplicity with Vivo V17Pro’s models in Knight Black and Crystal White, this Vivo phone sits upon translucent glass and automatically gives off distinctive taste and style. After all, it’s always a good idea to pair excellent function with polished form.

    Lightweight blazer

    This is the easiest trick in the book if one wants to pull together a professional outfit fast. Secure a piece that’s dressy and corporate at the same time.

    These are the staples that one must have in their wardrobe whatever industry they’re in. Stay fashionable and be confident in professional looks that are simple but stands out.
