Quick-serve chain Jack in the Box has signed new franchising agreements to expand its store count in two states.
The chain has reached a five-restaurant commitment to open in the new market of Michigan. It also announced a 10-store deal to bring new restaurants to Orlando, Florida. The expansion follows recent successful openings and development agreements in areas throughout Utah, Kentucky, Arkansas, Florida, Montana and Wyoming. In 2023, Jack in the Box signed 123 new restaurant agreements.
The Michigan agreement will result in new restaurant development in the southwest and south-central sections of the state, including Kalamazoo, Calhoun and Kent counties. Each location will showcase the brand’s innovative Craved store design, featuring modern aesthetics and vibrant signage.
“We are excited to announce five Jack in the Box locations in our West Michigan area over the span of five years,” said Niraj Patel, new Jack in the Box franchisee. “We will open the first Jack in the Box location in Battle Creek. This is very exciting because we can give our community more food options and help provide 40 to 50 new jobs per location.”
