Jack in the Box plans to open eight company-owned stores in the area, mostly in the suburbs. A Chicago proper location will be located near Midway Airport.
A Jack in the Box sits next to an Arby’s at East Chicago Avenue on April 7, 1977. “Chicago Avenue between Michigan Avenue and State Street is becoming a fast-food center,” wrote the Tribune on April 10, 1977.
The San Diego-based company started expanding in the area in the late 1960s but exited it in the 1980s, CEO Darin Harris said in an interview with the Tribune. “It’s been about 40 to 50 years since our last time in Chicago,” he said. The suburban locations are slated to open in Countryside, Lake in the Hills, Tinley Park, Carol Stream, Naperville, Plainfield and New Lenox mostly next year, though some openings may bleed into 2026. Jack in the Box also plans to open franchise-owned stores in the area; nationally, 93% of its stores are franchises.
