Shakey’s is and has always been about providing great times and great memories. When Sherwood “Shakey” Jonhson and Ed Plummer opened the first Shakey’s Pizza Parlor and Ye Public House, they had one thing in mind – opening a great place where people could get together, eat, drink and enjoy favorite ragtime standards. Shakey’s gained a huge following and the increased sales eventually allowed it to branch out into different states in the US, including Oregon in 1956, Washington and California in 1957.
In 1975, San Miguel Corporation thought of locally franchising Shakey’s to promote their draft beer. A year later, a change of ownership to Golden Pizza Incorporated took place. This first ever Shakey’s branch opened in March 15, 1975 along Makati Avenue, with its great tasting and crisp pizzas, unique chicken and mojos tandem, flowing cold draft beer, cheerful service and fun atmosphere, became an instant hit in Manila. This first store paved the way for many more and eventually made Shakey’s to be known as the Home of the Original Thin Crust Pizza, The World’s Greatest Pizza and has become a household name that it is today. To date Shakey’s has over 200 stores nationwide.
