SMC expands rotisserie chicken-to-go brand Chick ‘n Juicy focusing on safety and affordability in the time of pandemic.

San Miguel Foods, Inc. has further expanded the reach of Chick ‘n Juicy by Magnolia chain of chicken rotisseries, opening its 87th store in Bagong Barrio, Caloocan, and boosting delivery network to serve more customers in this time of pandemic.


Just 18 months in operation, the chain of stores has grown its presence in in 12 out of 17 cities in Metro Manila and several nearby provinces. It has also recently expanded to Petron Treats stores in Diego Silang Taguig and Libis Quezon City.


Geared towards providing affordable but high-quality, premium-tasting roast chicken offerings to a wide segment of consumers, Chick ‘n Juicy has also put particular focus on safety and convenience, particularly since San Miguel Foods and parent firm, San Miguel Corporation (SMC), have been at the forefront of private sector response to the COVID-19 pandemic.


“With the pandemic still a threat to lives and health, we’re emphasizing safety across all San Miguel businesses,” said SMC president and chief operating officer Ramon S. Ang.


“In our food businesses, since the start of the quarantine to the present, we’ve introduced many ways for consumers to have continuous, convenient, and safe access to our products—from rolling stores, community selling, to online ordering,” He added.

“In these challenging times, we have to be adaptable, innovative, and agile enough to quickly make necessary adjustments in our operations in order to continuously serve our customers safely,” Ang said.


The retail chain adopts high standards of safety, in much the same way Magnolia follows the strictest safety protocols for its poultry business.



Food products are also cooked and prepared by trained store personnel with emphasis on stringent safety and health measures. Chick ‘n Juicy food items are packed in resealable airtight bags to maintain safety, quality, juiciness, and flavor.


Meanwhile, to provide customers more ways to safely order freshly-prepared Chick ‘n Juicy roast chickens, Ang said the strategy is a combination of outlet expansion, strengthening its delivery network, utilizing online ordering platforms, and initiating community selling.


Apart from stand-alone outlets, Chick ‘n Juicy has also utilized the available network of SMC fuels subsidiary, Petron Corporation, to open more branches at fuel service stations to increase its reach.


The retail food chain has also beefed up its in-house delivery service, serving various areas in Metro Manila, even as it has partnered with third-party online food delivery services such as LalaFood, and soon to be on Grabfood and Foodpanda.


Without having to go to physical stores, customers can order Chick ‘n Juicy via Store-to-Door delivery just by calling their number, 0917-1498000 or 5317-5555.


Meanwhile, San Miguel Foods has also rolled out the Chick ‘n Juicy Sugod Caravan program for community selling in barangays, subdivisions, and villages. Village leaders and residents who are interested to become partners may send their inquiries to chicknjuicyofficial@gmail.com.


Apart from its outlets in Quezon City, Muntinlupa, Paranaque, Las Pinas, Caloocan, Makati, Marikina, Taguig, Pasig, Valenzuela, Navotas, and Manila, Chick ’n Juicy has also established branches in Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Cavite in South Luzon.

San Miguel Foods pushes regenerative agriculture, yields 44% growth in cassava volumes

August 22, 2024
San Miguel Foods’ long-running regenerative agriculture program, also aimed at supporting local farmers, has yielded over 90,000 metric tons of cassava in the first half of the year, 44% higher than in the same period last year, boosting incomes for its extensive network of farmers nationwide. San Miguel Corporation (SMC) Chairman and CEO Ramon S. Ang said that the company’s Cassava Assemblers Program, ongoing for many years now and in place in more than half of all the provinces in the country, has steadily grown, resulting in higher yields. “Through our Cassava Assemblers Program, we offer a guaranteed market with purchase agreements, a fixed floor price, and comprehensive technical assistance. We continue to engage with, and encourage farmers to organize themselves and form small businesses, to assemble a minimum of 20 hectares of cassava plantation,” Ang said. Ang explained that assemblers purchase produce directly from small farm holdings. This is particularly helpful for farmers with insufficient funds to pay for transport costs to sell their goods. It also solves the problem of economies of scale in production, lowering the unit cost of harvesting or transport, to a point where it is profitable for both the farmer and the assembler. For its part, San Miguel is assured a steady supply of an essential raw material.

November 16, 2023
Eighteen employees from B-MEG Plant Bataan and 43 employees from B-MEG Plant 1 Iloilo planted 1,200 mangrove propagules and 500 mangrove seedlings respectively as part of their efforts to help preserve and enrich the coastal environment of their respective provinces. Through the program, the teams aim to provide environmental and economic benefits to the residents of Barangay Bantan in Bataan and Barangay Gua-an in Ioilo.

These essential ecosystems also serve as nurseries for marine life, offering community members a sustainable source of livelihood.
