Jack’s Family Restaurant opening delayed

The opening of a new restaurant in Olive Branch has been pushed back to mid-October.  

A spokeswoman for Jack’s Family Restaurant announced that the new location at 7488 Hacks Cross Road in Olive Branch will now open on Oct. 13.  The date is a week later from the earlier announced date of Oct. 6. 

It will be the first Mid-South location for the franchise, based in Birmingham, Ala., which has been in existence since 1960. That’s when the first Jack’s was opened by founder Jack Caddell in a Birmingham suburb.  

There are currently over 200 restaurants, all corporately owned, that are located in Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, and Mississippi.  Newton also has a Jack’s restaurant in Mississippi.

Todd Bartness is the CEO for the company that owns Jack’s, AEA Investors. 

The franchise features sit-down dining, drive-thrus and takeout service. Burgers are the main menu fare, but Jack’s also serves fried chicken, breakfast and various other fast food items including french fries and soft drinks.

You can learn more by visiting the Jack’s Family Restaurant website.  Employees are being hired for the Olive Branch restaurant at the WorkAtJacks website.
