A Filipino chain has opened a location in Mid-Market after a lengthy permitting process. The process was complex and time-consuming, taking around six years to complete. The chain, Jollibee, is now welcoming customers in the area.

Fans of the chain had been waiting for its opening. Further details about the permitting saga and the new location are available from The San Francisco Standard, which reported on the challenges faced by the chain in opening its Mid-Market site.
