Beloved Fast Food Chain Makes Telling Move After Closing Hundreds of Locations
Last month, beloved West Coast fast food chain Jack in the Box announced that it would be closing hundreds of locations around the country, but the chain made a telling move that highlights the chain's long-term plans. Back in April, Jack in the Box announced plans to close about 150 or 200 of its "underperforming restaurants" across the country. "Jack in the Box will implement a block closure program, which is projected to result in the closure of approximately 150-200 underperforming restaurants — a majority of which have been in the system for over three decades," the company wrote in a press release on April 23, 2025. "The program will consist of approximately 80-120 restaurant closures between now and 12/31/2025, with the remaining underperforming restaurants closing thereafter based upon respective franchise agreement termination dates," the restaurant chain's press release continued. While closures of this magnitude and scale don't often paint an optimistic picture for businesses going forward, it seems like Jack in the Box is not merely closing locations, but it is also planning expansion. According to a report from Bob Vitale of The Columbus Dispatch, Jack in the Box is planning expansion throughout Ohio. "The company that owns the 74-year-old restaurant chain already has come to Powell and Whitehall with its other brand, Del Taco. A Jack in the Box representative told The Dispatch that it's seeking new locations for both, though, in the Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Dayton areas," Vitale wrote for The Columbus Dispatch this week. This is a telling move from the fast food chain as it indicates that despite the recent plans to close hundreds of locations, the chain still has expansion plans, which will be good news for its fans and customers.
