History
Gerardo B. Apolinario had a way of enjoying delicious food with friends and relatives. In this, he dreamed of a place of such pleasant ambience which he would share with them. After gathering his folks for organizing, Gerry's Grill was opened on Valentines Day in 1997. Since then, the restaurant business rapidly expanded. Apolinario's explanation regarding how he founded the chain was:
| “ | When we were in college, I was always the designated cook of the group whenever we had out-of-town trips. I eventually mastered it. | ” |
During the opening of a branch in Cebu, Apolinario once quoted:
| “ | You should be consistent with your food and service. That is the secret. | ” |
After opening a couple of branches in the United States, the restaurant chain plans to put up and outlet in Singapore. It has been opened at the Marina Bay on December 2010.
Other countries that being considered to have branches soon include Canada, Australia, and Thailand.
