Jack in the Box Inc.

Jack in the Box Inc. is an American quick-service restaurant chain headquartered in San Diego, California. Founded in 1951, the company operates and franchises over 2,200 Jack in the Box restaurants primarily across the Western and Southern United States, including Guam. Its mission is to "Make the world a tastier place," emphasizing continuous menu innovation and customer satisfaction.

The company is known for its diverse, 24/7 menu that extends beyond traditional burgers to include a wide array of items such as tacos, egg rolls, chicken sandwiches, salads, and all-day breakfast options. Signature offerings include the Jumbo Jack, Sourdough Jack, Buttery Jack, and the recently introduced Smashed Jack burgers. Jack in the Box targets a broad customer base, including value-driven young adults, multicultural families, on-the-go commuters, and late-night diners, with a strong emphasis on drive-thru convenience.

In a significant strategic move, Jack in the Box Inc. completed the sale of its Del Taco Holdings Inc. subsidiary in December 2025, as part of its "Jack on Track" plan. This divestiture, aimed at simplifying its business model and reducing debt, allows the company to focus on strengthening its core Jack in the Box brand. Lance Tucker was appointed Chief Executive Officer in March 2025, leading the company's efforts to improve operational performance and drive long-term growth amidst a challenging market environment.
