Fast-Food Giant Opens First MI Restaurant In 45 Years, Plans Metro Detroit Location

Jack in the Box opened its first Michigan restaurant in 45 years Monday, and the popular chain is planning more locations.

The new restaurant opened just off Interstate 94 at 2588 Capital Ave SW in Battle Creek.

Jack in the Box is also planning at least one more location in Calhoun County and other locations in Kalamazoo and Kent counties.

The chain is also returning to the Detroit area, with a new location planned to open at 7956 N. Wayne Road in Westland sometime in September, according to its website.

They are planning to open five additional Detroit area locations, but details about those sites have not yet been released.

The popular fast-food joint did have many locations in the Detroit area in the 1970s.

Jack in the Box was founded in California in 1951. They are best known for their iconic menu that features customer favorites like burgers, tacos, chicken sandwiches, milkshakes, breakfast, and late-night snacking options.

The new locations will offer dine-in, drive-thru, and mobile ordering options and will be open 24 hours per day.

The chain currently has 2,100 locations across 25 states, according to its website.
