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.

Posted by akiefaber September 6th, 2012, 1:02 pm Post a Comment

A spokesperson with Jack in the Box confirmed Thursday that its first Ohio location will open in West Chester on Monday, Sept. 17, at 9 a.m.

Brian Luscomb of Jack in the Box said the company has targeted Cincinnati and plans on adding more locations based on the belief that local consumers are already aware of the fast food chain.

“We have been very diligent expanding into new markets,” Luscomb said. “We want to make sure that it is the right market and that it has a high level of brand awareness where people know what Jack in Box is and what it is all about.”

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, sometime in October.

Cincinnati is the latest market in the Midwest for Jack in the Box, which has 70 locations in the St. Louis area and opened a location this past January in Indianapolis.

For those who are not familiar, Jack in the Box is a hamburger chain based out of San Diego that 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.

Kevin Molony, who also owns the Mellow Mushroom in Wilder, is shooting for a mid-July opening at the former Rafferty’s, 9238 Floer Drive and Union Centre Boulevard.

In keeping with the pizza chain’s free-spirited feel (it was founded by three hippies in Atlanta in 1974), the new store’s decor will include a roller coaster car in the ceiling of the main dining room and a “Shroomville” mural, also influenced by the area’s amusement park heritage. An open kitchen allows diners to watch crusts being thrown.

On the menu are craft pizzas with 49 toppings and more than 70 craft beers, 24 of those on tap. There are also hoagies, soups, salads, calzones and appetizers.

A Beer Club, trivia nights and special events will be offered.

For more information, go to www.mellowmushroom.com or visit the restaurant’s Facebook page.

Mellow Mushroom will also be hiring approximately 100 employees. Applications are available on the website, can be scanned to mellowevents@zoomtown.com or mailed to 1014 Town Dr. Wilder, KY 41076.
