Jack in the Box Announces New Market
Expansion with Five-Unit Commitment in Tallahassee and Additional
Ten-Unit Agreement for Orlando
With Over 400 New Franchise Commitments
Secured in the Last Three Years, Nearly 10% Are Slated for
Florida
Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ: JACK), a leading national
quick-service restaurant company, today announced significant
progress in its Florida expansion plans with new franchise
commitments in Tallahassee and Orlando.
“Expanding into Florida, one of the nation's largest and
fastest-growing states, aligns perfectly with our strategic plan
for the Southeast,” said Tim Linderman, chief development officer.
“We're thrilled to bring our iconic brand to Tallahassee, our next
new market, and further develop our presence in Orlando.”
The details for the franchise expansion plans include future
development commitments for five locations in Tallahassee and an
additional ten locations in Orlando. Specific locations for each
restaurant have not been identified.
“With extensive experience in QSR management and retail
healthcare operations, we sought to integrate a distinguished brand
into our portfolio,” stated Darshana Patel, the new
Tallahassee-based Jack in the Box franchisee. “After evaluating
numerous development opportunities, we identified Jack in the Box
as the premier choice. We are thrilled to join their dynamic
new-market expansion in the Southeast and contribute to their
growth and success.”
Florida's dynamic population growth and business-friendly
environment were cited as key factors driving the expansion. With
over 400 new franchise commitments secured in the last three years,
nearly 10% of which are slated for Florida, the company emphasizes
its commitment to the Sunshine State.
"We currently operate a globally recognized family dining
concept, but we see the business opportunity in the quick-service
segment,” said Dan Soma, Orlando-based Jack in the Box franchisee.
“We’ve been looking for a brand partner that’s well known
nationally and that provides us with an opportunity for scale. We
believe we’ve found this with Jack in the Box, and we are excited
about this new partnership and opportunity to serve the greater
Orlando community."
Jack in the Box is known for its iconic menu that features
customer favorites like burgers, tacos, chicken sandwiches,
milkshakes, breakfast, and late-night snacking options. The new
locations will offer dine-in, drive-thru, and mobile ordering
options and will be open 24 hours per day.
Jack in the Box has franchise opportunities available throughout
Florida as well as markets across the country. If you are
