In Iligan City, before Jollibee and McDonalds, and other famous food establishments serving fried chicken came to being, there is Sunburst Fried Chicken. It was founded in 1971 by the Congmon family.
Sunburst have been loved by Iliganons and tourists for more than 40 years. Making the place not just a family hangout, but as well as with friends and visitors, creating fun-filled/food-filled memories.
However, about two weeks ago, a news circulated that Sunburst Fried Chicken will be closing down effective July 1, 2014. This has made many lovers of the fried chicken so sad which prompted the "last dine" visits to Sunburst to make one last memory.
And yes, the closing down is true. The property have already been bought. Miss Baby Congmon, one of the children of the owner, said that it was a difficult decision for them (her siblings). But they have to let go of the place for she is the only one left in Iligan and managing it. And as she said she is not getting any younger, she, together with her siblings decided that she has to relocate to Cebu for good.
Nevertheless, she added that, the Iliganons need not wait for long because a franchise is already on the works. The interested franchisee is just looking for the perfect location. :D
In the meantime, Sunburst Fried Chicken lovers may still continue to savor the taste of the fried chicken at the following branches :
