New Naperville Jack in the Box scheduled to open in August
But take one look at the recently refreshed site of a former Arby's restaurant along Ogden Avenue in Naperville, and it's clear — Jack in the Box is almost back.
The California-based fast-food chain is set to open in August at 1600 E. Ogden Ave., according to Jack in the Box's website. The shop is one of eight company-operated restaurants set to open across the suburbs and the city this year, the company said in a media release.
'This strategic expansion into Chicago allows us to not only satisfy long-standing customer demand for our brand, but also to become a key member in the region's thriving restaurant scene,' Darin Harris, CEO of Jack in the Box, said in the release.
The Naperville restaurant plans to offer breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts with a drive-through lane, the company's website said, with customer favorites including burgers, tacos, chicken sandwiches and milkshakes. Jack in the Box is known for 24-hour operations and a menu the company describes as 'craveable' and 'iconic.'
It was unclear from the Naperville location's webpage whether this site will be open at all hours.
A spokeswoman on behalf of the company declined comment, saying Jack in the Box doesn't 'have any new information to share at this time.'
Jack in the Box this week hosted three days of job fairs at the Chicago Marriott Naperville hotel, hoping to hire full-time team leaders with experience in the restaurant industry and team members to staff the new restaurant. In a ZipRecruiter posting, the company said it was seeking 'enthusiastic individuals to lead our late-night team and join our regular shift operations.'
In preparing for the planned August opening, Jack in the Box received a commercial building permit for a new building or addition from the city of Naperville. The city issued the permit on March 6, spokeswoman Linda LaCloche said.
The restaurant joins an area of Naperville — one of the city's eastern gateways — that has undergone transformation, streetscape improvements and beautification in recent years. Located just east of Ogden's intersection with Naper Boulevard, Jack in the Box will join other new or redeveloped sites in the area, including Costco, Amazon Fresh, several restaurants and the Casey's gas station and convenience store.

Something everyone can hate.
Posted Jul 4, 2025 at 8:20 AM UTC Something everyone can hate. Elon Musk's embrace of acronyms like MAGA and DOGE has alienated the left, while his commitment to clean energy and EVs continues to enrage the entrenched oil and gas interests of the Trumpian right. Is anyone left to appreciate Tesla's massive new off-grid Supercharger?

Air France-KLM to buy majority stake in SAS
The Air France-KLM group on Friday said that it would initiate proceedings to buy a majority stake in Stockholm-based SAS. "Following their successful restructuring, SAS has delivered impressive performance, and we are confident that the airline's potential will continue to grow through deeper integration within the Air France-KLM Group," Air France-KLM chief executive officer Benjamin Smith said. The Dutch-French group currently holds a 19.9% stake in the Scandinavian airline. Under the terms, the group will fully acquire the stakes held by Castlelake and Lind Invest, bringing its own stake to 60.5% in SAS. The Danish State will retain its 26.4% stake in SAS and its seats on the company's board, the group said in a statement. The value of Air France-KLM's proposed acquisition of stakes will be determined at closing, based on SAS's latest financial performance. The transaction is expected to be closed in the second half of 2026. Post-transaction, SAS will become a subsidiary of the Air France-KLM Group. This acquisition is expected to allow Air France-KLM and SAS to fully unlock their synergy potential via a comprehensive integration in all areas of business.

Dr. Phil's Merit Street Media files for bankruptcy, sues Trinity Broadcasting
Dr. Phil McGraw's Texas-based media company filed for bankruptcy on Wednesday and simultaneously filed a breach of contract lawsuit against business partner Trinity Broadcasting Group, which specializes in Christian programming. Merit Street Media, which was formed in 2023 and launched Merit TV in 2024, is a joint venture of McGraw's Peteski Productions and Trinity Broadcasting. McGraw agreed to provide Merit Street with new episodes of his 'Dr. Phil Show,' primetime specials and other content, while Trinity Broadcasting contributed distribution and production services, according to the lawsuit that essentially blames the Christian broadcaster for the bankruptcy. Merit Street accused Trinity Broadcasting of reneging on its obligations and abusing 'its position as the controlling shareholder of Merit Street to improperly and unilaterally burden Merit Street with unsustainable debt, doing so either without notice or in direct violation of promises not to do so.' 'This lawsuit arises out of a sad but oft told story: one side lived up to its commitments but the other, the Defendant [Trinity], did not. Moreover, these failures by [Trinity] were neither unintended nor inadvertent. They were a conscious, intentional pattern of choices made with full awareness that the consequence of which was to sabotage and seal the fate of a new but already nationally acclaimed network,' the complaint, filed in conjunction with the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, stated. 4 Dr. Phil addresses his crowd during an season 7 episode of his show in 2008. Dr. Phil / YouTube 'This fresh voice on the national stage is inexorably going dark, going off the air because TBN has refused to honor its commitment to transfer its must carry rights and thereby provide national distribution for the network—Merit Street,' the complaint continued. 'And this conduct stretches beyond mere breach of contract and extends to breach of fiduciary duty and breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing—the full extent to which may require a forensic accounting audit.' Trinity 'formed Merit Street as a joint venture and contractually committed to provide valuable services to the joint venture,' according to the complaint. 'But [Trinity] then reneged on its obligations and abused its position as the controlling shareholder of Merit Street to improperly and unilaterally burden Merit Street with unsustainable debt, doing so either without notice or in direct violation of promises not to do so,' the complaint stated, noting that it owes over $100 million to third parties and that Trinity, referred to as 'TBN' in court documents, should be responsible. 4 Merit Street accused Trinity Broadcasting of reneging on its obligations. 4 McGraw agreed to provide Merit Street with new episodes of his 'Dr. Phil Show,' primetime specials and other content. Dr. Phil/YouTube 'The most egregious impact is TBN's conscious and knowing choice to cause Merit Street to lose its national distribution by withholding distribution payments despite repeatedly acknowledging those distribution payments were 100% TBN's sole responsibility. Simply put, as a result of TBN's conduct, Merit Street has nowhere to send its broadcast signal and nowhere to air its programming no matter how great it may be,' the complaint stated. Merit Street bills itself as an organization that 'provides clarity and solutions on the issues and topics that matter most to Americans,' including 'traditional family content,' news, sports, music, true crime and more. 4 President Donald Trump shakes hands with Dr. Phil McGraw during an event in the White House Rose Garden on May 1, 2025.

Merit Street is seeking damages, legal costs, and 'further relief as the Court may deem just and proper.' Trinity Broadcasting did not immediately respond to a request for comment by Fox News Digital.
