History

In 1979, Amalia Hizon Mercado, her husband Renato Mercado, and their five children, Consuelo Tiutan, Teresita Moran, Renato Mercado, Ricky Mercado and Romy Mercado established Red Ribbon as a small cake shop along Timog Avenue in Quezon City.[4] The cakes developed by Teresita gave Red Ribbon its prominence. In 1984, it opened its first overseas outlet in West Covina, California.[5] The company began franchising in 1999. Today, more than 200 branches operate in the Philippines; 32 in California; five in Las Vegas; two in New Jersey (Jersey City and Bergenfield); one in Metropolitan Phoenix;[6] two in New York City; one in Virginia Beach, Virginia; one in Chicago, one in Metropolitan Detroit, and two in Houston, Texas.[7]

In 2005, Red Ribbon was acquired by Jollibee Group.[8] Red Ribbon Bakeshop, Inc. is managed through JFC's holding company, RRB Holdings.[2]
