Jack in the Box to host grand opening celebration Monday

Posted by akiefaber September 13th, 2012, 8:10 am Post a Comment

Southern-California based Jack in the Box will open its first Ohio location in West Chester Monday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and special giveaways.

The ribbon cutting will take place at 8:45 a.m., after which the fast-food chain will open its doors at 9. According Jack in the Box spokesman Brian Luscomb, a special giveaway is planned for the first 500 guests.

The West Chester location, 7425 Tylersville Road, is located off I-75 (off the Tylersville exit), in an old gas station lot that is directly next to a Long John Silver’s.

In addition to that location, Jack in the Box is planning to open its second restaurant in Cincinnati at 5234 Ridge Ave. in Pleasant Ridge across the street from Burlington Coat Factory, off I-71. That location is projected to open in mid-October.

According to Luscomb, the new restaurant in West Chester is staffed with more than 130 local residents and features a bright and inviting dining room, which can accommodate up to 52 guests inside and 15 guests on its patio. The restaurant will also feature 24/7 drive-thru and dining-room service.

For those who are not familiar with the hamburger chain based out of San Diego, it features a diverse menu.

“We feature hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, French fries, ice cream shakes and some of the core products that are typical of a fast-food hamburger restaurant,” Luscomb said. “But we also offer choices like teriyaki chicken bowls, chicken fajita pitas, salads, stuffed jalapenos, egg rolls – items that you don’t typically find or are not offered at major chains.”

Also unlike other fast-food chains, Jack in the Box offers its full menu, all day, so customers can order breakfast at night or a burger in the morning. The chain is also known for its inexpensive tacos, which are two for $1.

Jack in the Box coming to West Chester

Posted by rrichardson February 14th, 2012, 5:05 pm Post a Comment

Shauna Steigerwald reports:

Greater Cincinnati will get its first taste of Jack in the Box when the fast-food chain opens in West Chester, most likely sometime this summer.

Brian Luscomb, company spokesperson, said the restaurant will likely break ground at a site on Tylersville Road, near I-75, within the next few weeks. It will be the first Jack in the Box in Ohio and the first of several planned for Greater Cincinnati, Luscomb said. Though the company isn’t disclosing other potential locations yet, Luscomb confirmed that it is looking at several sites in addition to West Chester.

Expansion has definitely been on the menu at Jack in the Box, which added 31 new stores in 2011 and plans to add 25 to 30 locations this year, Luscomb. Last month, it opened its first Indiana store in Indianapolis, and has had a “strong response” thus far, he said.

“We’re looking to expand into markets where there is already an awareness of the Jack in the Box brand and the products we offer,” he said, nothing that Greater Cincinnati fits the bill.

For the unfamiliar, the fast-food chain is best known for its burgers and tacos, but its menu also includes less traditional offers such as chicken teriyaki bowls and chicken fajita pitas. Its full menu is available all day, “so if you want breakfast for dinner or dinner for breakfast, you have that option,” Luscomb said.
