Jack in the Box Builds Upon Strong Franchise Development Momentum with Opening of Brand New Prototype

Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ: JACK) introduced its new off-premise-only restaurant prototype with the opening of a new location in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The new prototype was designed to meet the continued increasing demand for drive-thru service and digital ordering. At only 1,350 square feet, the restaurant features a double y-lane drive-thru, a walk-up window for ordering, dual assembly kitchens and a dedicated pick-up window for mobile and third-party delivery orders.

The goal of the new prototype is to reduce buildout costs by around 20%, while also increasing real estate flexibility. The new model is designed for free-standing locations, but can be adapted to fit in a variety of spaces such as C-stores, travel plazas, and end-cap locations.

Eye-catching design elements include a "big red box” on the façade that pays homage to the brand’s namesake, and exterior lighting that turns to the brand’s signature purple to signify its late-night menu hours. Features like these will attract new customers and loyal fans to the iconic burger franchise.

"The introduction of this new prototype is a huge boost to our nationwide growth efforts,” said Tim Linderman, Jack in the Box chief franchise and corporate development officer. "With the benefits of increased drive-thru efficiency and streamlined operations, this new model makes the Jack in the Box franchise opportunity more appealing for customers and franchisees alike.”
