LONGWOOD, Fla. – Florida’s first Jack in the Box is now ready to make it when you order it.
The California-based burger chain opened its first Florida location in decades in Longwood, at 815 W. State Road 434.
Long lines were seen all weekend, both to get inside the building and in the drive-thru, according to franchise owner Ed Zausch.
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.
“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 to News 6 in 2024.

Zausch plans to open 10 Jack in the Box locations in the Central Florida area.
In total, Jack in the Box wants to bring 20 locations to the area in the next few years.
An Orlando location on John Young Parkway and Conroy Road is currently being built out.
Locations in Lake Nona, Osceola County, Palm Bay, Palm Coast, Lakeland and Deltona are also being planned.
