The Max’s Group, Inc., comprised of the Max’s Entities, owns and operates the homegrown brands “Max’s Restaurant”, “Max’s Corner Bakery” and also holds the licenses to operate the international brands “Krispy Kreme” and “Jamba Juice.”
The Max’s Group’s history is made through the stories of well-established family restaurants that are all known for good food and great memories
Max’s was originally established in 1945 as a bar and café in Scout Tuason, Quezon City to cater to the American soldiers stationed along the nearby South Market Street (renamed Alejandro Roces Avenue). It served food familiar to the soldiers, among them steaks and fried chicken, using recipes developed by Ruby S. Trota. In early 1950, the restaurant operations were formally incorporated as and into Q.C. Max’s, Inc., with Mr. and Mrs. Maximo F. Gimenez, Mr. and Mrs. Claro J. Trota, and Mrs. Felipa Sanvictores as founders.
Max’s fried chicken was well known for its delicious, tender meat that came right off the bone. Customers loved it so much that they would consume the famous fried chicken all the way to the last bite, which prompted the company to officially adopt the tagline, “Sarap to the bones.” Max’s marketing campaign reinforced its position as one of the leading fried chicken restaurants and food brands in the Philippines.
In 1982, Max’s opened its first outlet outside the Philippines in San Francisco, California, USA. Nine years later, the restaurant moved to El Camino Real in South San Francisco. In 1984, Max’s opens in Los Angeles, followed four years later with another Max’s Restaurant in San Diego, California.
Max's Restaurant is the Company's flagship brand. Its rich heritage is rooted in decades of providing impeccable customer service and serving world-class food, especially the best fried chicken that every Filipino family can vouch for.
Max's Restaurant's popularity has skyrocketed since its inception in 1945. The House That Fried Chicken Built is now a well-loved household name in the Philippines showing no signs of slowing down with rapid expansion overseas.
Pancake House is known for more than just their fluffy pancakes and delicious comfort food. The warm service and familiar menu make for a homey dining experience in every branch. In fact, everyone in the Philippines has their own favorite Pancake House dish and their fair share of Pancake House memories.
Pancake House continues to add more items to their menu while still retaining the well-loved favorites like Pan Chicken, Tacos, Spaghetti, Waffles, and of course, the incomparable Pancakes.
A “Krispy Kreme branch opening near you” will be the best news you’ll hear all day. There’s something hypnotizing about the appetizing scent of freshly baked doughnuts, tasty coffee and the glow of the “Hot Doughnuts Now” light that makes every passerby want to step inside and grab a bite.
With more than 1,000 branches worldwide carrying a popular variety of doughnuts, the Krispy Kreme brand is one of the most recognizable brands in the world.
The Real American Doughnut Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, holds the license to operate Krispy Kreme in the Philippines.
Fresh Healthy Juice Boosters, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, holds the license to operate Jamba Juice in the Philippines.

Max’s Corner Bakery (“MCB”) started with Ruby Trota in the early 1960s in Sucat, Paranaque. The brand became famous for its Dinner Rolls paired with Max's Fried Chicken. In 1970, the brand expanded by offering new products like Ensaymada & cakes through a take-out counter. Today, MCB offers “grab-and-go” bread, pastries, and cakes. MCB caters to both retail and institutional clients and major food establishments in the country.
Yellow Cab serves New York-style premium pizza in a fast casual dining setting. The feel of the “Big Apple” can be found in every edge and corner of a Yellow Cab branch from their logo akin to a New York cab license plate, to their modern industrial look, and especially when gorging on their hefty servings of pizzas and pastas generously loaded with fresh toppings.
At home, it’s always a delight to expect a yellow Vespa scooter bringing over a big box of piping hot Yellow Cab pizza.
