Jack in the Box (founded 1951 in San Diego, California by Robert O. Peterson; NASDAQ: JACK) is an American fast-food burger chain with about 2,200 US locations weighted heavily across the West Coast and Southern states (California, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma).

Common questions are about whether the local store is one of the 24-hour locations (most are), what time the kitchen serves the full menu, all-day breakfast availability, late-night drive-thru hours, and how the chain handles Christmas and Thanksgiving compared with sibling chains like Whataburger.

One quirk worth knowing: roughly 70 percent of Jack in the Box locations run 24 hours a day, drive-thru throughout the night with the full menu (tacos, egg rolls, teriyaki bowls, breakfast Jack, mini-burgers (the chain’s slider-segment competitor to White Castle), and churros) available at every hour, which is one of the most distinctive operational patterns in national fast food.
