When looking to buy a Jack in the Box franchise, there are often many questions around what types of sites Jack in the Box is looking for. What are some of the requirements of the sites that we're evaluating? And the type of venues Jack in the Box is willing to grow in? Well, in this video, we're gonna cover all of those things as well as the support we provide you for both real estate and construction. So stay tuned. The first thing we're gonna be looking for is land size. To build a Jack in the Box, you're gonna need at least twenty five thousand square feet or greater of property to accommodate our building. Keep in mind, we have buildings that range in size from one thousand three hundred fifty square feet that are drive through only, all the way up to two thousand four hundred square feet that have dining inside. The next characteristic we're gonna be looking at is population. We're gonna be looking that within a one mile radius of the preferred side we see at least ten thousand people living in that area. The next characteristic we are going to be looking at is daytime employment. We'd like to see at least three thousand people employed as part of the daytime population within a one mile ring of the site. Another key characteristic that we're looking for is household income. At Jack of the Box, we'd like to see household incomes in the area of at least sixty five thousand dollars or greater. And the last thing we're gonna take a look at is traffic counts. In front of your store, we like to see traffic counts of at least twenty five thousand cars per day. Now, as I mentioned, there are hundreds of different characteristics we look at, and those are just five. But hopefully, they give you a better understanding of some of the things that Jack in the Box is looking at from a high level. Let's go ahead and dive into the next thing, venue types. At Jack in the Box, our flexible construction plan allows us to build locations in a wide variety of traditional and non-traditional venues such as freestanding, which is our most common. Jack in the Box will also operate in end-caps. Keep in mind, we require an end-cap versus an inline because we have to have a drive through in almost every case. And that applies for pretty much any venue type that you're looking at with Jack in the Box. On almost every situation outside of something, say like a military base or an airport, we're gonna require a drive through. So just keep that in mind when you're taking a look at sites in your local area. The next type of space is that we look at are co-developed spaces. At Jack in the Box, we have almost a hundred of these co-developed spaces across the country. These are typically co-development that are built attached to a c-store, a convenience store, or a travel plaza. And keep in mind that these locations are full fledged Jack in the Box locations. They're not smaller. They're just like a full size store. They're just attached to the building. So typically, when you walk into the convenience store, or the travel plaza you can get in to the Jack in the Box and order in person, and then there's typically some general seating within the area. And the last types of venues are special types of venues. Things such as airports, stadiums, college canvases, and military bases. And these obviously are gonna be mostly non-traditional type of locations. But we'll take a look at those as well. We have a flexible footprint that fits a Jack in the Box in almost every space. So if you have something in mind, please reach out and let us know. The next thing I'm gonna cover is the real estate support we provide here at Jack in the Box. To me, the best thing about being a part of a franchise is the support you receive. And this starts with both real estate and construction, and we're gonna start with the real estate support we provide. We've done a a market point evaluation throughout the country. And we've mapped out the areas in which Jack in the Box is looking to grow. This matters because as a potential franchisee, we're gonna show you these types of market points or show you these market points on the front end of the process. You could take a look and see where Jack in the Box is willing to grow. Once we get through that process, you're gonna select the market points that are available, and those will be the market points you choose to grow moving forward. You're going to be assigned a dedicated real estate manager. This dedicated real estate manager is gonna walk you through the entire process of real estate. Whether you're looking to buy real estate, which you can own here at Jack in the Box, we we allow you to own the real estate, or you decide to do a ground lease. We have a team in place to help you with either one of those scenarios. So whether you're trying to buy or you're trying to lease it, we have sample leases, sample documents in place for that, as well as a team to help you evaluate the site. The last thing I'm going to cover is our construction support. Keep in mind, Jack in the Box has been building restaurants for a number of years and we understand what it takes to open a Jack in the Box restaurant. Why? Because we also open corporate Jack in the Box restaurants. So we're very in tune with the construction process. All of our projects are managed by a sophisticated software, and this software helps you understand the milestones and all of the steps that it takes to build your Jack in the Box restaurant. So whether you're evaluating sites in your market, you're looking at real estate, or you're wondering about construction, understand that Jack in the Box has something for everyone, and we're here to help you get your stores open, and we're here to provide support along the entire franchise journey.
