Jamaica’s largest fast-food restaurant chain, Juici Patties, continues to expand into America, as it plans to lay the groundwork in Massachusetts, home to over 7.1 million people. 

Three locations are planned for the American state, which has a strong Jamaican and Caribbean diaspora. The three locations are at Everett, Roxbury, and Brockton.  The stores will be at Gateway Centre, 1 Mystic View Road in Everett; 16 Taber St. in Roxbury; and 200 Westgate Drive in Brockton. 

No opening dates have been announced. The menu will focus on Jamaican beef, curry chicken, and chicken patties with avocado, along with side orders and beverages.

More expansion coming

In addition to Massachusetts, the brand is seeking to open more locations in Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas, according to MassLive. Last year, Juici Patties sold more than 3 million patties in the United States. 

Our Today reported then that the company reached this milestone within two years of entering the American fast-casual market. The U.S. operation is led by CEO Daniel Chin, son of founder, Jukie Chin. The elder Chin started making Jamaican patties in his mother’s kitchen and sold them in his parents’ grocery store when he was only 16 years old.

Juici Patties traces its origins to May Pen, Jamaica, in 1980. It now operates more than 60 locations and employs more than 1,400 people. The company produces tens of thousands of patties daily from a 20-acre headquarters and plant in Clarendon Park in Clarendon.
