ORLANDO, Fla. – Over a year ago, News 6 shared how Jack in the Box announced its plans to build 14 locations in Central Florida.

Earlier this week, the California-based burger chain said it plans to bring 10 stores to Orlando.

According to a press release, Ed Zausch will be the owner of these additional 10 locations. It is not known where or when these restaurants will open.

“I’ve been a huge fan of Jack in the Box for many years. When I moved to Orlando, I noticed there weren’t any locations nearby, which drove me to inquire about franchise opportunities,” Zausch said in a statement.

Zausch is no stranger to the fast-food game, as he also is a franchisee for another chain new to the Orlando market, Daddy’s Chicken Shack.

Meanwhile, Jack in the Box is known for its burgers, tacos, milkshakes and late-night munchie meals. Its restaurants are also open 24 hours a day.

There are currently no Florida locations, but the brand is ambitiously expanding across the East Coast. It signed 123 new restaurant deals last year, according to company officials.

This is not the only California burger chain making its mark in Orlando. Fatburger just opened its first location here in Celebration earlier this year.

Jack in the Box also announced its plans to bring five locations to Tallahassee up in the panhandle.
