Home-grown Julies Bakeshop has embarked on a new business model that focuses on its core competency which has made it the largest community bakeshop in the country.

JFC CEO and President Joseph R. Gandionco said the company’s new direction aims to achieve its goal of providing improved quality yet affordable bread-products and to expanding its product reach.

In expanding its product reach for the benefit of more Filipinos, JFC’s vision is to provide more support to its franchisees to help them succeed.

Julie’s franchising company, Julie’s Franchise Corp. (JFC), is also looking at the company’s franchise design to make improvements for the benefit of its business partners, its existing and prospective franchisees.

A Julie’s franchise investment amounts to P1.8 million to P2 million. This includes the security deposit, P250, 000 franchise fee, start-up or business development cost, building renovation cost, ingredient, and machinery and equipment cost. Based on company studies, the average return-on-investment of its existing franchisees is only in two years.

Interested investors need only to submit a letter of intent to franchise, the certified copy of the property’s certificate of title for those who own the property where the bakeshop will be located. For those who will be leasing a property, a letter of intent to lease and the proof of ownership of the lessor and copy of the building’s tax declaration and location map are needed.

Julie’s started business in 1988. It has grown through the years with the help of its over 600 franchisees all over the country. Julie’s has received numerous awards and recognitions from various institutions for consistently exhibiting high standard of growth and development in all aspects of franchise operations.

In June 1999 Julie’s was dubbed as the “Success Story of the Year” and on October 1999 as Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry “Outstanding Country – Side Investor” Awardee.

It was followed by another award in 2000 when the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commernce and Industry awarded a Recognition to Julies as “Outstanding Small and Medium Scale Entrepreneur and another award of the same title from PCCI.

In 2002 Julie’s garnered the “Who’s Who in the Philippines: The Best Bakeshop of the Year” by the National Consumers Excellence Award.

In 2005, Julie’s Franchise Corporation was awarded with an award from the Department of Trade and Industry, PCCI, Philippine Retailers Association and Philippine Franchise Associations – the Franchise Excellence Award. It was on the same year that Governor Gwen Garcia awarded “Garbo sa Sugbu” Award to Julies, which was followed with another recognition from Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI), as the Most Socially Responsible Entrepreneur Award”.

Cebu will soon be host to Santiago Restaurant of South America. the Philippines first and only food and beverage facility offering what has come to be known as the croassroad cuisine of the South American continent.

Santiago is probably the Philippine’s onle restaurant dedicated to South American Cuising and will be breaking ground first in the Cebu foosd scene. It is yet another reflection of the proponent of the President of the DAYS brand in the Philippines – young hotel owner and vibrant chef, Mr. James Concepcion’s personal proclivity gfor the unusual and the uncommon. Case In fact is his Ziggurat Food Temple in Makait where chef James has popularized the only authentic Indian, Medditerranean, African and Middle eastern (IMAM) cuisine selections and was touted by the Lonely Planet as it’s editor’s pick last June 2009. Cehf James now endeavors to launch Santiago first in Cebu making it the flagship location.

Santiago, the Restaurant, takes you on a south American adventure to the best of Brazil, Argentina, Chile, colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay, Venezuela, Bolivia and Guyana. Countries that most people do not even know but whose food also share some commonality with Filipino food. Utilizing INGREDIENTS like fresh seafoods, portk potatoes, corn, okra, rice and tropical fruits.

A casual surf of Santiago’s menu that is broad enough to cover a table for two boggles the mind and is likely to make the reader go hungry. Appetizers alone number some 62, Rice varieties come in 62 options. Entreees count some 40 items.

The crossroad character of South American cookery is further limned by the diversity of cultural and cuisinary influences of a veritable United Nations. The Incans of Peru not only built pyramids In the Andes, they compiled cookbooks possibly 6000 years ago. Spain then made its presence flet when it conquered the Incas and , at a later time, brought in Afritcan slaves who worked in the fields and further enriched the mix of South American cooking. The French followed and influenced the cuisine of upper classes – paving the way to South American Cuisine.

SANTIAGO
Even the restaurant’s name choice is a trove of trivia. Aside from his namesake, there is a santiago city in all South American coutries, and in Chile, its capital. In Britain, Santiago is James; iin most of Spain, Jaime; in Iberia, Iago; in GAlicia, Tiago to which San is prefixed creating Santiago, or St. James. Galicia in spain is home to the city of Santiago de Compostela where St. James’s body rests and has been a pilgrimage site for 1,200 years.

The unmistakable stamp of identity truly espouses the work put in the conceptualization of each recipe in the menu – the size of a continent.

Vamos a Santiago. The first in the Philippines. Opening in Cebu.
