The Jollibee Group has opened its first Tim Ho Wan restaurant in Shanghai’s Changning District.

The new branch is located in Nanfeng City Shopping Mall and is only a few minutes’ drive from the Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, which ranks among the busiest airports in China.

The restaurant chain is known for its authentic Hong Kong dim sum recipes and has been awarded a Michelin Star.

The new branch features two floors and an alfresco dining area that can safely accommodate up to 126 customers.

“We’re thrilled to continue expanding the Michelin-starred Tim Ho Wan in Mainland China. We are targeting to open 100 restaurants within the next four years,” said Shirley Chang, Jollibee Foods Corporation China President.

In 2019, The Jollibee Group entered into a joint venture agreement with the Tim Ho Wan Group to open and operate Tim Ho Wan restaurants in Mainland China.

Three more branches of Tim Ho Wan are set to open by September in strategic locations in Shanghai’s Hongkou, Jing ‘an, and Minhang Districts.
