Own a Burger Franchise in Chicago

Due to the cost of opening a restaurant with Jack in the Box, we have three minimum financial requirements all potential franchisees must meet.

• Minimum Liquidity: $500,000

• Minimum Net Worth: $1.5MM

• Franchise Fee: $50k per Location

If you’re unable to meet these requirements, there are many potential sources of liquidity that may be overlooked. For example:

• Business Partners

• Local Banks & Credit Unions

• Stocks & Bonds

• 401k Rollovers

These are just a few of the options you may like to consider in order to meet our financial requirements.

The estimated initial investment for a Jack in the Box Franchise is $1,810,600 - $4,207,500 excluding land, financing, and certain other costs. We provide a breakdown of this number in our Item 7 found in our Franchise Disclosure Document.

We offer an incentive to qualified developers. Under our current Development Incentive Program, if you sign a Development Agreement for a minimum of three (3) restaurants to be developed and opened under the development schedule during the time frames specified in the Development Agreement, and certain other requirements are met, you may be eligible for one the following incentive options, at our sole discretion:

OPTION A: The Royalty (which is currently 5% of Gross Sales) will be reduced to: (i) 1% of Gross Sales for the first year; (ii) 2% of Gross Sales for the second year; (iii) 3% of Gross Sales for the third year; (iv) 4% of Gross Sales for the fourth year; and (v) 5% of Gross Sales for all subsequent years.

OPTION B: If you open the Restaurant on or before the required date in the development schedule, we will loan you $150,000 at 0% interest to be used solely for development costs associated with that restaurant. The loan will be repaid by crediting 100% of the royalty payments for that restaurant otherwise due until the loan is paid in full (i.e., payments will be made by crediting the appropriate portion of royalty payments toward the principal balance outstanding). If the particular restaurant is sold or permanently closed and the and the loan has not been fully repaid, the remaining principal balance is due in full.

If you close a restaurant and then open a replacement restaurant, it will not be eligible for these incentives. The Company may discontinue or modify this Development Incentive Program at any time.
