Meadowhall: Chicken restaurant Jollibee closes suddenly leaving empty unit in Oasis food court
An empty unit stands in the Oasis Dining Quarter of Meadowhall after a struggling fast food restaurant announced its closure.
Jollibee left a small sign outside the unit that reads: ‘Jollibee is now closed. We apologise for any inconvenience’.
The restaurant’s page on the wider Jollibee website has also been removed.
It comes after chicken specialist Wing Stop opened in the Oasis in October. It joined several others chicken vendors including Popeyes and KFC.
There are 50 other eateries in the megamall.

Originating in the Philippines, the fast-food chain has expanded across the globe and has been pushing into the UK over recent years.
There are currently sites in major cities like Edinburgh, London and Leeds, however the venture into Sheffield didn’t appear to be the most successful.
On Tripadvisor, the Meadowhall restaurant has a rating of 1.8, while Google reviewers treated it slightly more favourably where it sits at an average of 3.9 stars.
Jollibee has announced plans to continue expanding across the country, with their website saying they will ‘be arriving in more UK cities soon’.
The company has been contacted for comment.
