The brand is accelerating is expansion and has signed an agreement to open 47 stores across the US.
This agreement will assist the brand expand in a number of existing markets such as Los Angeles, Dallas and Houston whilst also helping the company grow in new markets including Salt Lake City and Louisville. The new agreement follows the relaunch of Jack in the Box’s franchise development programme earlier this year.
The company has benefitted from a 14 per cent increase in system wide same-store sales year-over-year at the end of its most recent third quarter. Alongside this, earlier this year, the chain unveiled its new off-premise only prototype, which features a drive-thru lane and a pickup only lane. This new prototype will cut development costs from between 18 and 23 per cent.
“Our franchisees want to grow with Jack in the Box and there’s sizable demand for our brand in a variety of markets around the country,” said Darin Harris, CEO, Jack in the Box. “We’re really excited about the progress we’ve made in the development space, but this is just the beginning. As we head into the new fiscal year, we look forward to growing further with our current franchisees, as well as adding new operators to the Jack in the Box family.”
