Jollibee announces phasing out of their Champ Burger

Jollibee Foods Corporation is letting go of one of their classic products, the Champ Burger.

In a statement Thursday, January 2, 2020, Jollibee said they are phasing out one of the original products in their menu, the Champ.

"We wish to inform you that soon, we will be phasing out our Champ burger in all branches," said Jollibee in a statement.

However, Jollibee did not close doors for a possible return of the Champ if the market dictates in the future.

"Our product offerings are being reviewed regularly to meet customer demands so there’s always a chance that old Jollibee classics – including the Champ – may return in the future. Thank you," the company said.

Champ is best known for its big patty, a 1/3 pound patty with lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese.

Here's the complete statement from Jollibee regarding Champ's phase-out.

"We wish to inform you that soon, we will be phasing out our Champ burger in all Jollibee branches. We are working on big and exciting things this year for our burgers line to delight and bring greater joy to our customers,” Jollibee said on its Twitter account.

“Our product offerings are being reviewed regularly to meet customer demands so there’s always a chance that old Jollibee classics – including the Champ – may return in the future.”
