Jack in the Box Gears Up for a Chicago Comeback with Plans for New Restaurants After 40-Year Absence
Fast-food aficionados in the Chicago area are in for a nostalgic twist on their dining options as Jack in the Box announces a wide-reaching return to the region after a lengthy absence. Confirming a rollout beginning in 2025, the company has set plans for eight corporate-owned restaurants marking their first presence in the Windy City in four decades. As per NBC Chicago, the expansion signifies Jack in the Box's intention to re-establish itself within a market that's been devoid of its offerings since the early '80s.
According to the revealed strategy, the initial wave of openings will see the San Diego-based eatery bringing its 24/7 menu to various corners of the Chicago area, sites include the suburbs of Countryside, Lake in the Hills, Tinley Park, Carol Stream, Naperville, Plainfield, and New Lenox; the first city location is set to be near Midway Airport, with offerings ranging from its signature burgers and tacos to late-night indulgences widely recognized among its fanbase. The expansion plans suggest a multi-year venture which, alongside those initial eight, could usher in up to 125 additional eateries within a region spanning from Northwest Indiana to Southeast Wisconsin, as detailed by Block Club Chicago article.
Jack in the Box CEO Darin Harris underscored the strategy's focus on serving a pent-up demand and contributing to the local restaurant scene, asserting, “We’re excited to bring our unique menu where customers can order any item at any time – day or night and we’re confident Jack in the Box will quickly become a favorite local destination,” this vision resonates with their 24-hour operational model and the variety of service options including dine-in, drive-thru, and mobile ordering prospects, as stated by NBC Chicago. Further enriching the company's footprint, Jack in the Box outlines its recent openings in other states such as Utah, Kentucky, Montana, Wyoming, and internationally in Mexico, as well as eyeing new markets for continued growth.
