History
edit.jpg){kind=link}
Mang Inasal was started by Edgar "Injap" Sia II, who owned his first business at the age of twenty.[3] Sia engaged in the food business at twenty-six years of age, opening the first Mang Inasal branch on December 12, 2003 at the Carpark Building of Robinsons Place Iloilo in downtown Iloilo City.[3] The restaurant was an instant success, despite stiff competition from other established grilled-food restaurants.
Mang Inasal opened its first branches in the Visayan region, later expanding to Mindanao then to Metro Manila. The company started franchising in 2005; by 2008, it had opened 23 restaurants, with ten being franchised.[4] In 2009, Mang Inasal expanded to over a hundred branches, opening its 100th branch in Kalibo, Aklan.[3]
In October 2010, 70% of Mang Inasal was acquired by Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC), for ₱3 billion ($68.8 million).[5] JFC acquired in April 2016 the remaining 30% previously belonging to Injap Investment owned by Inasal's founder, folding the roasted chicken and barbecue business into its operations and portfolio. The Sia family remains involved in the business with Ferdinand Sia as its COO.[6]
In 2018, Mang Inasal opened its 500th branch at Gaisano Iloilo City Center in Mandurriao, Iloilo City.[7]
