Because Jack in the Box is only available in certain parts of the United States, many fast-food lovers still don't have access to its popular burgers, tacos, and all-day breakfast.
But in the near future, one of the states that currently lacks a Jack in the Box will get not just one, but over a dozen restaurants from the regional fast-food slinger.
On June 11, Jack in the Box announced a major new franchise deal that will see it make its grand debut in Georgia. The chain will develop 15 new locations throughout the Peach State as it works to grow its presence in the region.
Jack in the Box currently boasts roughly 2,200 restaurants throughout 22 states, with its stores mostly concentrated in the West and South.
While the sites for the 15 new Georgia stores have not been chosen yet, Jack in the Box said they'll be "strategically located across Georgia with a focus on the growing markets of Macon, Augusta, and Savannah."
The new locations will be open 24 hours a day and offer dine-in, drive-thru, and mobile ordering options.
This new Georgia development agreement expands upon Jack in the Box's already ambitious growth plans for the future.
Jack in the Box is far from the only burger chain making major expansion moves right now. The Slutty Vegan—which specializes in plant-based fare—is planning to more than double its footprint over the next year and a half.
