About Jack in the Box

Jack in the Box, Inc. is a prominent American fast-food restaurant chain founded in 1951 by Robert O. Peterson in San Diego, California.

The company is renowned for its innovative approach to quick-service dining, particularly pioneering the drive-thru service with a two-way intercom system, allowing customers to place orders without leaving their vehicles.

Over the decades, Jack in the Box has expanded its menu to cater to a diverse range of tastes.

While it remains best known for its hamburgers, such as the signature Jumbo Jack®, the menu also features items including tacos, chicken tenders, salads, breakfast burritos, and egg rolls.

This eclectic mix reflects the company's commitment to offering both traditional American fast-food options and internationally inspired dishes.

As of 2025, Jack in the Box operates over 2,200 locations across the United States and Guam.

It has a significant presence in states like California, Texas, Arizona, and Washington.

The company continues to innovate, introducing new menu items and limited-time offers to keep the dining experience fresh and exciting for its customers.

In 2022, Jack in the Box expanded its portfolio by acquiring Del Taco, a fast-casual chain specializing in Mexican-American cuisine.

This strategic move allowed Jack in the Box to diversify its offerings and strengthen its position in the quick-service restaurant industry.
