Humble Beginnings

The story of Goldilocks began when The two sisters started their business small. Milagros, a professional nurse, supplied Manila school canteens with chiffon slices, while Clarita baked and decorated cakes for special occasions in Bicol. A twist of fate brought the sisters back together in Manila, and they decided to expand their hobby into something more fulfilling. Together with their sister-in-law Doris, and armed by their love of food, baking and cooking, they opened a small bakeshop in Pasong Street Makati in 1966.

It was their sister, Maria Flor, who named the store based on prosperity and providence---Gold and Luck.

Their first store located in Pasong Tamo Street in Makati is still open and ready to serve their loyal customers. From just 10 employees and two display stands, Goldilocks has grown to 490 stores — both here and abroad — with some 5,000 local employees.


A Flourishing Ingenuity

Even after five decades in the industry, the guiding principles of its founders (sisters Milagros Leelin-Yee and Clarita Leelin-Go) are are still very much alive and articulated in the Goldilocks vision statement: to be the leading Filipino global brand that will fulfill the changing customer needs through world-class products and services in markets served.
