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

On Wednesday, the California-based burger chain said it found someone to bring 10 more.

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.

Currently, there are no Florida locations, but the brand is ambitiously expanding across the East Coast. It signed 123 new restaurant deals last year, according to a press release.

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