According to a recent media release of Filipino food and beverage conglomerate Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC), it reported that the South Korean chain Compose Coffee made significant progress in the first year that it was made part of the group, which began in late 2024.

Its home country, which has grown a reputation of being the “Coffee Republic” due to high coffee consumption, and its intensely competitive and trend‑driven market, the chain has risen to a total of 3,000 stores.

JFC noted that Compose Coffee achieved this within 18 months after it opened its 2,000th location.

Moreover, it also saw its total product sales increase by more than 10% year-on-year in 2025, in spite of a highly competitive market,

Compose Coffee’s signature Americano sold approximately 200 million cups that year, with the collaboration with BTS member V seen to have strengthened the brand’s competitiveness.

This trajectory demonstrates scalability, operational efficiency, and strong consumer resonance,” emphasized the Philippine-based conglomerate.

In addition, the Buyeo Chestnut menu surpassed 400,000 cups sold within one week of launch and its digital campaign generated 15 million views, while the Raw Chocolate Latte series was broight back due to strong demand.

As for the Jeolmi Series, it was expanded with Injeolmi Cup‑bing to meet evolving dessert-beverage trends.

Leveraging Jollibee’s extensive global supply chain and operational expertise in over 30 countries, Compose Coffee is now said to be “poised for a seamless entry” into high-growth markets.

Building on its dominance in its home market, Compose Coffee is now set for overseas expansion, with plans to activate markets across Southeast Asia—riding the global momentum of K‑food and backed by a scalable value proposition rooted in quality and affordability,” revealed JFC.

Richard C.W. Shin, Jollibee Group International CEO and Joillbee Group’s Global Chief Financial and Risk Officer, noted, “Compose Coffee’s explosive growth in the world’s ‘Coffee Republic’ proves its ability to scale with quality, value, and brand love.”

He furthered, “As we bring this momentum to more international markets, we see significant opportunities to create long‑term value for shareholders. Compose Coffee is a strategic growth engine for the Jollibee Group’s international portfolio, and we are committed to investing behind its global potential.”

Although, as of this writing, it has not yet revealed locations in the region where they plan to bring the chain and the timeline for this expansion.
