The company stated that it could add up to 1,100 locations on existing markets after having recorded a two-digit increase in sales of the same store and resolved aLongtime legal conference with franchisees.

Jack in the box currently has a footprint of more than 2,200 sites scattered on 21 states, and the chain hopes to develop its presence in these markets even more.

(In touch:9 restaurant chains that have closed hundreds of locations this summer.)

"We have a lot of opportunities in our existing markets across the country," said Harris onthe call. "If you think about it, if we focus on our existing markets, we can put 950 to 1,100 locations in our existing footprint."

The chain hopes to develop by emphasizing its efforts not only to recruit new franchisees, but also to support those existing, including helping them secure capital. Under new leadership, the company also finally settled prolonged action with franchisees on remodeling requirements and marketing funds. The franchisees currently have all the locations of the chain but 137 United States, according toRestaurant Business.
