Jack In The Box is currently in the middle of a major culling of its restaurants, with 150-200 underperforming locations set to close. So perhaps now is not the most opportune time to ask, but I’m going to do it anyway: Can we please get a Jack In The Box in Lubbock?

What Makes Jack in the Box Different

Lubbock has plenty of fast food and fast casual options and chains galore, but Jack In The Box is different than anything else we have, thanks to its eclectic menu of munchies available all day and into the late nights.

Of course, that’s just what I heard, but I distinctly remember the Jack In The Box being well attended while it was here, and again, I want the dang eggrolls with my curly fries.
