JOLLIBEE Foods Corp. said it has completed its acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Red Ribbon Holdings Inc., owner of the 146 Red Ribbon Bakeshop stores in the Philippines and the US.
Jollibee bought Red Ribbon for 1.8 billion pesos, and expects the acquisition to boost the group's annual sales by 2.5 billion pesos.
In a statement, Jollibee chief finance officer Ysmael Baysa said Red Ribbon's financial results would be included in the consolidated financial statement of Jollibee starting November this year.
He said Jollibee would use its cash reserves to pay for the acquisition.
Jollibee will make an initial payment of 1.3 billion pesos, while the balance will be in three equal installments over the next three years.
At the end of June, the Jollibee group's worldwide network comprised 1,200 restaurants, which include Chowking, Greenwich and Delifrance outlets, as well as 88 Yonghe King stores in China.
