Ummm, folks there is a DQ in Edmond on 2ns Street. Did you miss that?

There used to be one...

McAllister's Deli has occupied that location for a while now.

Unless you're thinking of Freddie's Frozen Custard who has signage similar to some DQ's.

Doesn't Jack in the Box own Qdoba? Could that be what the ad was referring to?

Yes Jack In The Box does own Qdoba...you might be right but I don't see Qboba opening in Ada or Ardmore.

I'm sure it is probably JITB coming to OKC. They announced almost two years ago they were coming to OKC. I'm sure for some odd reason it's taken longer than they thought but maybe now they are finally deciding to act upon it.

okcpulse, as someone said, the one on 2nd street in Edmond went out a year or two ago. So did the one on May and 39th at roughly the same time. I think those were the last two left in the metro before they pulled out.

I've never been impressed with Jack in the Box - they seem to not be able to decide what kind of food they want to server and just decide to server every kind they can think of - plus that whole health scare thing years back totally put me off of them.

I've been away from OKC for too long.

Does anyone remember the El Chico/Hepatitis scare about 15 years ago? I remember eating there after a Little League game one evening, and a week later I was being hauled off to the doctor to get a shot in my butt. Not fun.

I vaguely remember the Jack in the Box food scare. I also remember Food Lion going down for something similar, but I was too young to care about the details back then. I think they were bleaching and repackaging old meat or something like that.

theres a DQ in tishimingo too! but they didnt take credit cards :( and i only got a banana split

I met my wife when we both worked as techs at Cox, so she also has experience with all Windows\Mac OSes and some flavors of Linux.
You hiring? If so, Im serious, PM me.

Is your PM turned off?

Is your PM turned off?

I'm sorry, I don't think I had ever gotten that enabled from the looks of the FAQ.
This was the first time I needed to use that, and I assumed (we know what that does...) that it was enabled by default.

I am e-mailing the Mods now, so that they can turn it on for me.
In the meanwhile, feel free to contact me via cedbled@yahoo.com

I am eager to hear more from you.

Braum's is the reason there aren't many Baskin Robbins in the state, not DQ. Sonic's soft serve competes more with DQ.

The ad said the job paid 80k. I doubt that it's just for the Ada, Ardmore, and Durant locations.



Really?

80k?

Why did i ever bother going to college then??

Cheap beer and the Greeks?

College isn't the only way to $.

College isn't the only way to $.

Yeah, but pimpin' aint easy.

College isn't the only way to $.

Tell me about it...Wife only did around 40 hours of college and she makes almost double what I make

Thank god I'm so good looking or I could be in trouble

It did say a college degree is a requirement.

Cheap beer and the Greeks?
I do miss the 5 dollar drowns at Joes, then the 5 dollar drowns at Dirtys, then the 5 dollar drowns at copper penny, and lets not forget the girls....

mmm coors.

I would kill for a DQ. When I was just a lower case G growin up in Blackwell, America it was the biggest treat to go to DQ.

Last year I went to one in Rhome, Texas and it was just like I had remembered.

Cheap beer and the Greeks?

More like cheap beer and the girls. HAHA, j/k.

Anyway, a freind of mine says he's heard horror stories about JITB. Then again, I guess any fast food chain's up for grabs in that category with all the recent Taco Whatever's coming into the picture for food problems.

I went to that site and didn't see anything did I miss out?????

Heh havent been to a JIB in about 10 years, will be great!

gross, i can't believe Jack in the Box creates excitement.

Does anyone know if there is going to be a Jack in the Box here in OKC anytime in the near future?

I hope so! I looooooove it! I'm from California and I desperately miss their Ultimate Cheeseburgers and greasy tacos!

I remember there was one at NW 23rd & I-44 (where the Arby's is now) when I was a kid - in the 70's. Haven't heard anything about them making another appearance...

There used to be several here in the 70's...but there was a food poisoning thing caused them to close up here IIRC.

I imagine this fell apart by now though; that is if it was ever anything in the first place.

i think the closest one to okc would be in ada. the really only good thing they have is salads, their sirloin burgers are drenched in sodium, and if you go there late at night-sometimes its impossible to get a shake, cause they like to turn off their shake machine. sometimes their tacos are good too...but taco mayo has them beat by leaps and bounds.

There's one in Ardmore, too. The food at that location is decent enough.

I believe the original posters question was, will there be any in the future. Not where are they in Oklahoma, or where were they in the past. I'd be interested to know this also.

to truly get that answer, one only needs to email the folks at THIS website

Jack in the Box (http://www.jackinthebox.com)

There used to be a bunch of Jack in the Box restaurants in OKC. Most, if not all, of them were shut down and converted into what are now Arby's Roast Beef shops. The Arby's at SW 59th and Penn is one such example that comes to mind...

Back in the 60's the best thing about Jack-In-The-Box was the deep fried tacos!

I'd rather see a Der Wienerschnitzel in OKC. OKC NEEDS a good hot dog!

Der Wienerschnitzel tried the Del City area about three years ago or thereabouts, knocking down a *reallly* old-style former Arby's location and putting up a new building....and I think they were in business six months before shutting down. The place became a Starbucks...which was closed late last year.

Still is. I love em!

From what I've heard from a MWC planner, the Jack in the Box will be located on 29th St across from Tinker.

so thre is going to be a jack in the box in the metro soon? across from tinker?

if jack in the box comes please bring in-n-out burger

Don't hold your breath.

you sure weinerschnitzel knocked down an old arbys location? i couldve sworn it was a chinese restaurant called "New China"?

(btw, how many times have i run across chinese restaurants called "new china"??, youd think they could be a little more creative with coming up with more diversified names, oh well)

Yumm breakfast burritos.

It was there much longer than that as i recall. I ate there frequently. It was just in a terrible location. I can't think of a worse place to introduce a new chain to an area.

i told my parents about wienerschnitizel and they said right away where ( they use to live in cali and loved ws) i cant beleive i didnthere about it in midwest city, but i live in moore last time i went to midwest city was about 2 years or so ago

...OKC NEEDS a good hot dog!...

That's why one goes to Freddie's

El Gato,

Where is Freddies? I sure hope it's not that place downtown OKC!

Jesseda,

California is where I lived too and I used to go to Der Wienerschnitzel almost every day between college classes. Directly across the street from the campus was a DW on one corner, a Taco Bell on another corner, and a Jack-in-the-Box on the other corner, next to a gas station that was selling gas for .28 a gal for hi-test. Best I can remember, Taco Bell was .19, I think burgers were .23, and DW was .27. Back then, late 60's, Jack would sell 10 tacos for a buck...which was very popular down along the beach where all the hippies lived :-)

Seriously, another freaking fast food restaurant??? I'm so sick of this. I think the City of Moore really should consider a moratorium of fast food establishments in Moore. On either side of I-35 within a half mile of 19th, there are 16, 16!, fast food eateries.

City Bites, Taco Bell, Braums, Whataburger, Arby's, Sonic, Taco Mayo, Panda Express, Freddy's, Carl's Jr., Chick-Fil-A, Burger King, Subway, Quizno's, and TWO freaking McDonald's.

Yes Jack in the Box is EXACTLY what we need!!!!

careful, youre going to ruffle the feathers of the jack in the box lovers on this board.

I really have nothing against Jack in the Box, I just think a 17th fast food restaraunt in a 1 mile radius is getting ridiculous.

how dare you talk bad about jack in the box you really ruffled my feathers, how dare you!!! I say good day good day to you!!!!!! we do need another fried greasy place, i mean common we need one ast food place for ea day of the month, so we will never get bored with the same old fast food

Especially since it is the only Jack In the Box in the OKC Metro area and many people have been waiting for it to return to the metro for decades. Do you not realize as silly as it is, it will be an economic boon to the City of Moore, at least until they build more locations?

Where is this going to be located and when?

Never mind I found it in the other thread.

How, exactly, is one new lousy hamburger joint - the 17th at that - going to be an economic boon to Moore? I guess some of the folks out there may make it like a Krispy Kreme religious experience but that will fade away after a couple of weeks. Its taking the same fast food obsessed people and splitting the pie a 17th way. The pie doesn't necessarily become bigger.

JIB has a few things going for it that set them apart from other places, one being that they serve their entire menu including breakfast 24hrs a day. Sonic is the only fast food place that does breakfast all day, but they're not open 24hrs...Whataburger is open 24hrs but only serves breakfast 11pm-11am. JIB also has a ridiculously extensive menu...they're like three different fast places rolled into one. I'm not saying that this excuses them from being the 17th place in the area - that IS a bit excessive! I'm just saying that at least they offer something that the other places don't.

Burger King, Sonic, Wendy's, Taco Bell, KFC, LJS, A&W, Grandy's, Braum's, McDonald's, Taco Bueno, Church's, 2 Little Ceaser's...there's 13 that are on 12th Street alone, from Eastern to Santa Fe. You can take just about any area in the metro area & find a large cluster of fast food places...while the new JIB is technically "new", the fact that it's fast food isn't a new concept.

As far as it being an economic boon to the area, I'll have to agree with that. With it being the first JIB in the metro after so many years, people will flock to it. I don't think the shiny will wear off after a few weeks, I think it will be steadily busy just like Chick-Fil-A is. If you're still unconvinced, try going to the JIB in Ardmore & ask them how many folks they see there that are from the OKC area and have stopped in Ardmore specifically for JIB. I think it's probably a lot more than most would think.

Try finding a healthier, Oklahoma or individually owned place to eat, then.

Exactly the point I was making, silly as it is, Moore will reap quite a bit more money in tax revenue because of this. It will last far longer than a few weeks, and probably at least a year or two. As you said, don't believe me, look at Chick-Fil-A. The one on NW Expressway and Rockwell opened up 2-3 years ago and they are still SWAMPED every day. People will flock to this not just because of novelty.

Are you truly going to go on a special trip to Moore (unless you already live there) to eat at JIB? Its not that I don't eat fast food, I have a 9 year old! But sheesh! Their food isn't any better than any other place. You can just get a funny antennae ornament there. Plus, I do like Jack in the commercials but it doesn't make me want to jump up and eat there.
