How to Get Red Ribbon Bakeshop Franchise in the Philippines

If you are craving for cakes, such as the Black Forest, Chocolate Heaven, Chocolate Fudge Cake and other mouthwatering flavored cakes, there is one bakeshop that is popular for those great-tasting cakes – Red Ribbon Bakeshop. Red Ribbon products, which include cakes and pastries, have already been a favorite “pasalubong” of many Filipinos whenever they visit their families and loved ones in the provinces. From its first store in Timog, Quezon City opened in 1979, what started out as hobby-induced business turned out to be a proudly Filipino-owned and professionally-run business network in the Philippines and even in the US. Red Ribbon has grown to over 200 outlets all over the country and over 38 stores in the US with locations in California, Las Vegas, Arizona, New Jersey and New York.

Red Ribbon became part of the Jollibee Foods Corporation family when it was acquired by the corporation in October 2005. The company aims to bring the joy of eating to everyone through its great-tasting food and superior quality products and customer service. Red Ribbon uses premium ingredients, such as real butter, high quality cake flour, and its unique Red Ribbon cream. Their cakes have become a tradition, an integral part of every celebration – birthdays, christenings, anniversaries, and weddings. Owing to its heritage of bringing families and friends together through its delicious, elegantly-designed cakes and other specially prepared products, Red Ribbon captures this core benefit in a campaign that best summarizes what the company has stood for over the years, “Whatever the celebration, it’s more beautiful with a Red Ribbon.” Red Ribbon is open for franchising, and if you want to get a slice of their successful and profitable business, the following important information on how to get a Red Ribbon Franchise in the Philippines shall guide you.
