Jack in the Box returning to Tulsa area

After an absence of nearly three decades, fast-food chain Jack in the Box is returning to the Tulsa area. The San Diego-based company recently purchased land near Kenosha Street and Aspen Avenue in Broken Arrow for $610,000 with the intent to build a restaurant, said company spokesman Brian Luscomb.

"We're looking forward to serving up sirloin burgers and fruit smoothies in the first half of 2010," he said.

The chain is looking for other locations in the metro area, Luscomb said. The Broken Arrow real estate deal was the first to come through. Luscomb said the chain once operated multiple stores in Tulsa but closed them all by 1982.

"In the 1970s, the company underwent a major expansion to penetrate the Eastern and Midwestern markets, but the company subsequently closed or sold those to concentrate our resources in the Western and Southwestern U.S., which at that time offered the greatest growth potential," he said.

The company, now in growth mode, is building stores in areas such as Albuquerque, N.M.; Joplin, Mo.; and Denver.Jack in the Box opened three stores in southern Oklahoma — one each in Ada, Ardmore and Durant — earlier this decade.

The chain is perhaps best known for its fictional CEO and spokesman Jack, a clown-headed man in a business suit who was blown up in company advertisements in 1980 but returned in 1996 thanks to "the miracle of plastic surgery."

There's something about those tacos at that place.

Crack in the Box?

Back in the Jocks?

[Hoss]

Yep, because what they need at that intersection is another restaurant/fast food place.  As if they don't already have a Carls Jr/McAllister's/some chinese food place and Lord knows what else down there.

I am a fan of Jack in the Box restaurants. They have a varied, inexpensive and fast menu.

I travel too much and am always in a hurry and their breakfast fare is the best of the fast food circuit. They make a chorizo sausage breakfast that really stands out and the meaty breakfast burrito is enough for anybody. The breakfast bowl is a ham, cheese, and hash brown omelette with just the right amount of peppers

They have a decent one dollar burger and you can get two tacos for a buck as well. The breakfast dollar sandwich is ham, egg and cheese on a small hamburger bun. It is way better than a dollar breakfast sandwich at any of their competitors.

It is impossible to be fast, cheap and great at the same time. Jack in the Box food is two of them.

I support development.

This is another fast food restaurant though.  We have so many and our state isn't the healthiest.

I've seen worse scores than this but always keep in mind, it is a fast food restaurant with the nutrition that goes along with it.

I'm not saying I'm without sin but I'm for nutritional knowledge and think Oklahoma should copy New York's example and have restaurants post nutritional information.

I would have to say that around here, Braums is far and away the best. Ask for OJ some places and you get a juice box, there you can get a flippin' quart.

At Jack In The Box you can get anything on the menu at anytime.

So you will not be casting the first stone?

So you will not be casting the first stone?

Tulsa is chock full of first stone throwers.  I'm never first.

I wasn't trying to preach though.  It's just another thing that makes sense to me that I doubt will happen.

Let the people eating it know what they are eating.  It may force the industry to edge a little over to the healthier side.

Jack in the Box opened yesterday to big crowds. 
There will be more sites in the Tulsa metro area but company officials have declined to say where at this time. 

The new site is in front of the Walmart Supercenter at 71st and Aspen Ave. (145th E. Ave)

One of my friends was in line for an hour just to get some fast food there.  I drove past it at 10:00PM last night and the drive through was lined up.  I think it is crazy that people around here freak out so much over something new to the area.

Flashback to 1972 in Alston a suburb of Boston: Never, ever go back to this disgusting dingy dive.

Crack in the Box ..... that's what it resembled....especially under fluorescents at 3 a.m. following a Crosby/Nash show.

Set you up....now bring it.
