Jack in the Box Looks to Open Eight New Locations in Chicago Next Year

According to an article from Block Club Chicago , Jack in the Box will soon debut throughout the Chicago area after over 40 years of a hiatus.

A representative of Jack in the Box was not immediately available to comment upon What Now Chicago’s request.

“The San Diego-based fast-food chain is looking to open eight locations in the Chicago area next year, the company said in a news release Tuesday. Most of the initial stores will be in the suburbs, with one inside city limits near Midway Airport, Jack-in-the-Box CEO Darin Harris told the Chicago Tribune’s Talia Soglin.”

“Suburbs that will be getting a Jack in the Box include Countryside, Lake in the Hills, Tinley Park, Carol Stream, Naperville, Plainfield and New Lenox, the Tribune reported.”

Jack in the Box describes itself as having “always been the place for those who live outside the box. Where you can try new things and order what you want when you want it, while always getting it fast, hot, and fresh.”

“Opened in 1951, we’re now one of the nation’s top fast-food burger chains with approximately 2,200 quick-serve restaurants in the U.S. and Guam. And with roughly 90% of our 500 million annual guests choosing drive-thru or take-out, we know the importance of convenience.”

“If you love the classics, burgers make up the core of our menu with the signature Jumbo Jack®, Ultimate Cheeseburger, the Buttery Jack , and the Sourdough Jack® on our trademark toasted sourdough. If you seek good value, we offer Jack’s Deals with our famous two tacos, chicken nuggets, Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, and more. And for the customization-minded looking to make that perfect flavor mix, we offer endless flexibility.”
