Jack in the Box Springs Into Kentucky

Jack in the Box Inc. (San Diego) has opened its first locale in Louisville market, which is also the brand’s inaugural entry into the commonwealth of Kentucky. The opening is the brand’s second new market entry in the past three months, joining Salt Lake City.

The new location features the brand’s updated CRAVED package, which includes a new restaurant image with bold colors and signage. It offers dine-in, drive-thru, mobile ordering options and will be open 24 hours per day.

“This marks a significant milestone for our brand as we continue to expand our presence across the country,” said Chief Development Officer Tim Linderman. “With strong consumer appeal for our iconic brand, we know that there is pent-up demand for Jack in the Box in Kentucky.”

In addition to the current company-owned openings, the brand also announced it has signed a group of veteran Jack in the Box franchisees to open six new restaurant commitments in the Louisville market. These operators include 55-year Jack in the Box franchisees, Mark and Karen Graffius, as well as multi-unit franchisee, Shane Paul, to develop the brand’s footprint within this new market.

Jack in the Box Inc. operates and franchises more than 2180 restaurants across 21 states for its flagship brand, along with roughly 600 restaurants across 15 states for its Del Taco unit.
