The California-based fast food restaurant had also previously said a Tinley Park location would open, though that wasn't listed on the website. It wasn't immediately clear where or if other locations were planned, and Jack in the Box did not immediately respond to NBC Chicago's request for comment.
The new restaurants mark the first time in over 40 years that the brand will have a presence in the Chicago area, the company said in a recent release, calling it a "highly anticipated return to the Chicagoland market."
“This strategic expansion into Chicago allows us to not only satisfy long-standing customer demand for our brand, but also to become a key member in the region’s thriving restaurant scene,” Jack in the Box CEO Darin Harris said in the release. “We’re excited to bring our unique menu where customers can order any item at any time – day or night and we’re confident Jack in the Box will quickly become a favorite local destination.”
