A new Jack in the Box restaurant will open this summer in Jefferson City.
Left vacant when Jefferson City's Fazoli's restaurant closed, commercial real estate agent and building owner Kolb Properties has been working to fill the space at 2333 Missouri Blvd. since October.
Remodeling should begin this week, with a target opening date in late June or early July, said Trish Skorcz, marketing representative for statewide Jack in the Box franchise Missouri Jack.
"As owners, we were real pleased to find someone to totally retrofit the building and bring it up to today's standards," said Larry Kolb of Kolb Properties.
The Jefferson City restaurant will be Missouri Jack's 72nd Jack in the Box location, and the local Jack in the Box will be led by franchise operator Kelly Kuhlman. The franchise's newest Jack in the Box opened in January at 1401 Grindstone Parkway in Columbia.
"They're a good franchise with a lot of locations in the Midwest," Kolb said. "We had several people interested in that location. It's hard to get a spot on Missouri Boulevard."
