It was back in March 2023 we first brought you the news that California based fast food chain Jack In The Box had plans to return to Florida for the first time in over 30 years, with a new restaurant in Orlando included in expansion plans.


Then in February this year, the company gave an update including a new franchisee for Orlando, Ed Zausch who planned to open 10 new Orlando area restaurants! Then in June, Jack In The Box announced that another 10 restaurants are set to open in Orlando thanks to a different franchise, Dan Soma joining the company.


So as we await the 20+ restaurants to open, Lake Nona looks likely to claim the title of the first Orlando area Jack In The Box!



According to state documents, the popular fast-food chain is set to open a location on the east side of Narcoossee Road at 10105 William Carey Drive in Orlando.


The new restaurant will be 2,000 square feet, featuring a dine-in for 22 guests, a drive-thru, and mobile ordering options, and will operate 24 hours a day.


“Orlando is a priority market for just about every brand in the country,” said Van Ingram, vice president of franchise recruitment for the chain.

The new Orlando locations will offer dine-in, drive-thru, and mobile ordering options and will be open 24 hours per day.


Some of the most popular menu items include:


Sourdough Jack - 100% beef seasoned as it grills, hickory smoked bacon, tomato, Swiss style cheese, mayo, ketchup on toasted sourdough bread
