The company, which holds a 60% stake in SuperFoods Group, which owns Highlands Coffee, said the ⁠potential listing would give the coffee platform direct access to Vietnam's growing capital market.

Highland Coffee currently operates nearly 1,000 stores in Vietnam and across Southeast Asia.

In early January, Jollibee had announced plans to spin off its international operations and list it as an ‌independent ⁠company on a U.S. securities exchange.

The U.S. spin-off will create two independently listed businesses with distinct strategic focuses and investment profiles, as the ⁠Philippine operations will remain listed on the local bourse.

Jollibee expects the Vietnamese listing to be completed ⁠in the first quarter of 2027, while the U.S. listing of its international ⁠operations is expected to close towards the end of that year.
