If you don't have time to go inside walmart, checkout the pics on www.peopleofwalmart.com (http://www.peopleofwalmart.com), you'll run to the nearest gym, or at least check yourself in the mirror before you shop at Walmart again.

It suprises the number of people who do not pass by a mirror or at least ask themselves "Is this the way I want people to see me?." There used to be a time when you made sure you were properly groomed and neatly dressed. From what I undestand back years ago people did not go downtown without being dressed to impress.

sorry, was that supposed to be funny? it wasn't, nice try though.

did i ask if you cared? nope, sure didn't.

Glad to see we're keeping on topic here. :) Does anybody know when this place opens? I've never been. Is it better that McDonald's or burger king?

not sure when it opens. i've been but it has been a very long time. used to be known by many as jack in the crack. by the way the building is going, it shouldn't take too long. they've made pretty good progress.

Yep, work progresses. nada yet on the other one for the west side of town, though the location is set off NW 24th and Robinson.

Personally I love Jack in The Box! One is going up in Moore which is great since I am a South Sider it won't be too far!!

I eat there at least 2 times every time I go to Dallas.

Far better than McDonalds in my opinion. They have egg rolls that ROCK among other things.

It has some options that McD's and Burger King do not offer.

I may not eat there for a while after they open. I can still remember calling it Ecoli in the Box after the breakout in the early/mid nineties.

Jack-In-The-Box has a taco that not even Taco (death) Bell can replicate.

Besides, if a sushi joint ever decided to try and open up in that jungle a competitor burger joint would burn it to the ground

That was mainly because of poor hand hygiene. That is why the health department requries hand washing procedures and/or gloves to be worn in all food prep areas.

Any word on when they are going to get started on this project? Or have they already and I just have not noticed?

snow.. cold... little bit more time.

Panda is terrible. There are enough smaller Chinese take out places around that just knock it out of the water. Such as China House on Sooner and 59th. I would like to see some more restaurants in the area. Whatever happened to the Books a Million that was supposed to go up in the area?

rollin back to JITB, the east side Norman location appears to be making a fast paced progress. The other, not so much, if any at all.

I saw in another thread about Jack in the Box coming to MWC, it said the location would be 29th and Air Depot. I'm trying to imagine where at that location there would be a spot for it????

Probably just the general area of the new shopping area...I HOPE so!!! They have the best tacos!!!

Since there is an intersection called SE 29 and Santa Fe, you should have been specific and said "Santa Fe Cattle Company."

Are you from MWC? I thought the connection was obvious...??

I always thought the new "downtown" center cried for a Ted's, somewhere out with the Old Chicago-Chick Filet-Cheddars stuff. But the management there tells me no.
Alas.

It looks like they are getting started on this. They have made the site ready for construction.

The one under construction in Norman should open in 4--6 weeks.

I drove by the one on the east side (main and 24th in front of Walmart) and it looks like it will be open in a week or two. It looked really close to being done, but it was at night, so I could be wrong.

Qdoba is great, but very pricey.

I agree about Qdoba also - plus expensive for what they offer.

There's a place in Addison that I wish would open up here - Cantina Laredo.

Holy crap - I just looked and there's one near Penn Square? Guess I should drive north sometimes, huh?:Smiley094

never mind...

Ive been to Cantina Laredo is is good too. The don't advertise so no one would even know its there.

just had lunch @ cantina laredo today! when in Dallas, we have been there before and it's always been great ... I think it was just as good today - maybe better than previous visits!


Ive been to Cantina Laredo is is good too. The don't advertise so no one would even know its there.

Can anyone verify if any of the metro's Jack in the box restaurants open yet?

they are building jacks now the fround is tore up and construction materials are at the site

I'd love a Chipotle over there. Qdoba just isn't that good.

How about a Moe's instead? Qdoba and Chipotle just can't compare. It's the rice at Moe's that sets the burritos apart.

Does Moe's have a web site? I have never heard of them before, but Chipotle is my favorite hands down. But I am always in the hunt for something better...Moe's huh?

Now that you mention that, I've seen a "Jack in the Box" semi and 29th and Air Depot a couple times actually. I thought that was kind of odd, but didn't think much of it..

I'd like to exactly where. I drove past that intersection with the intentions of finding this alleged location. NOT ONE building indicated a Jack In The Box.

Welcome to Moe's (http://www.moes.com/)

There are three in the area, one in the Belle Isle Shopping Center next to Penn Square, one on the Broadway extension in Edmond, then one past the gates at the airport. If you like the Chipotle/Qdoba burritos, Moe's will blow you away.

I'd like to exactly where. I drove past that intersection with the intentions of finding this alleged location. NOT ONE building indicated a Jack In The Box.

Because the point was there is a Qdoba there, which is owned by the same company.

I am aware of that, however the post said JACK IN THE BOX, NOT QDOBA!

Yeah, no. He never said there was a Jack in the Box, and was taking the point that the reason he saw a Jack in the Box truck on 29th street is because they use them to deliver to Qdoba...Jesus.

Actually, the post said Jack in the Box semi

Darn those pesky ol' moveable storage bins anyhows.

Don't you mean JACK IN THE BOX SEMI, NOT JACK IN THE BOX RESTAURANT! :LolLolLol

Don't you mean JACK IN THE BOX SEMI, NOT JACK IN THE BOX RESTAURANT! :LolLolLol

whats the difference? And don't tell me that mexican joint. I might add, I didn't see ONE SIGN ON ANY BUILDING that said Jack In The Box. No MATTER how it ends. Semi, or whatever.

A semi isn't a building. Okay, I'm done.

> what's the difference? ...

:doh:

I believe Semi was an old, wooden ship from the Civil War era.

A semi isn't a building. Okay, I'm done.

It didn't hit me that you might be refering to a truck, if that is what you meant. I thought you meant a restaurant called Jack In The Box Semi. You should have been clear.

Okay, this is just getting ridiculous!

Let's review shall we.....


Jack in the Box owns Qdoba. A few weeks ago, I saw a Jack in the Box truck delivering product to the Quail Springs Qdoba. I did a little online research and found they have owned Qdoba since 2003.


Now that you mention that, I've seen a "Jack in the Box" semi and 29th and Air Depot a couple times actually. I thought that was kind of odd, but didn't think much of it..

A news article from OKC.Biz confirmed that Jack in the Box is building a location at 29th and Air Depot Blvd in Midwest City. The exact location in that area has not been confirmed. Chances are more than likely that they will not reveal the exact location until they start turning dirt. This practice is common because it keeps a competitor from stealing the site or opening close by before you can get the signs on the building.

OKCBiz > Jack in the Box plans to open four Oklahoma City-area locations (http://www.okc.biz/article/10-22-2009/Jack_in_the_Box_plans_to_open_four_Oklahoma_City-area_locations.aspx)

Does that help....? I will borrow a page out of Metro's survival guide for OKCTalk. Sometimes it is best to read the thread top to bottom before you post. Especially if you are going to dispute/argue the with other posters.

The Jack In The Box on the East side of Norman is scheduled to open a week from tomorrow.

It didn't hit me that you might be refering to a truck, if that is what you meant. I thought you meant a restaurant called Jack In The Box Semi. You should have been clear.

Really smooth? Please tell me that's sarcasm...allthough sometimes your posts make me think that you would honestly think that.....wow.

Jack in the Box breaks ground in OKC

OKLAHOMA CITY – Jack in the Box, a quick-serve chain with more than 2,200 restaurants, is accelerating its northward push into Oklahoma.

It broke ground Monday at its first Oklahoma City location, at S. MacArthur Boulevard and Interstate 40, and has identified other locations in Oklahoma City for further expansion.

“We are just excited to be coming to town,” Brian Luscomb, spokesperson for the San Diego-based company, said Wednesday.

He said the company typically doesn’t discuss future construction plans until it actually breaks ground at a new location.

The Oklahoma City restaurant will feature a 2,700-square-foot building on a 60,000-square-foot lot, which the company recently purchased for $887,500.

It will be company-operated, with 20 to 30 employees, and will open in late summer, Luscomb said.

Jack in the Box has two other restaurants under construction in the area: at SW 19th Street and Fritts Boulevard in Moore, to open midsummer; and in Norman at NE 12th Avenue and Main Street, to open in the spring.

The company has had a presence in southern Oklahoma since 2002, when it opened restaurants in Ada and Durant. It opened another one in Ardmore in 2004.

“We are expanding into contiguous markets,” Luscomb said.

In operation since 1951, Jack in the Box has restaurants in 18 states, with most of them in California and Texas.

“North Texas is a big market for us, and Oklahoma City is approximate to that market, so there is an existing awareness of our brand,” Luscomb said.

He said Jack in the Box is known for its innovative menu, which includes 100-percent sirloin burgers, a line of entree salads, real fruit smoothies and ice cream shakes, teriyaki bowls and grilled sandwiches.

“There’s really something for everyone on our menu,” Luscomb said.

The chain opened 64 restaurants in 2009 and plans to add another 45 to 50 this year.

“Despite the economic slowdown, we had a very good year last year,” Luscomb said.

Does anyone know if the Norman Jack in the boxes are open yet?

The E. side store opens a week from today, construction on the W. side hasn't started.

The newest MWC "newspaper" - Eastword.net - says there will be a JITB in the Town Center area. Free issue, available all over town and published, it appears, by our friends who bring us the OK Gazette. It's not a bad news source for eastern OC.

Tried one for the first time while on the road in Texas. We don't have these out east so I'm new to the whole concept since moving to this region. Let me say, these burgers make awful road food. I ate a whole burger and was so full I didn't have the energy to put my foot on the accelerator. The sirloin burgers are a bit dry and way too salty for my taste.

Oh well, since we are fast food capitol, it would be silly not to have one here, I guess...gotta stay true to the title.

actually El Paso, TX has the title.....

actually El Paso, TX has the title.....

Oh, well...I guess I'm guilty of not updating the rankings in my mental file since 2006. I'm sure we're up there somewhere though, right? I guess it depends on the statistic used, too (most restaurants per capita, most heavy users of fast food per capita, most fast food restaurants per square mile, etc). Point is the same though, we have alot.

Funny, El Paso is exactly where I stopped at the Jack in the Box! It was Jack in the Box or Taco Bell, so... :chef:

so, anybody got a date on the opening?

In the other JITB thread, someone posted it should be open this coming Friday.

I'm wondering what the tentative plans for the west side location are. Nada obvious happening over that way as yet, at least not obvious to me
