Jack in the Box at 30th and Upas closed yesterday but will return after a 10-week remodel |
TEN WEEK PROJECT--Yesterday, Jack in the Box closed its 30th and Upas restaurant after
being operational at that site since 1961.
A sign on the fenced in property alerted the public to the nearest Jack
in the Box.
Of course, the closure
begged the question: what’s going on?
Pillar to Post made a quick
call to Jack in the Box spokesman Brian Luscomb provided an equally quick
reply:
“Jack in the Box is in the
process of remodeling that restaurant. Yesterday (May 28), we closed the
restaurant in preparation for demolishing the interior next week. We expect
construction will take approximately 10 weeks,” said Luscomb.

North Park residents not in
the local planning group loop will note, last year the San Diego Planning
Commission denied the company’s application to build a new Jack in the Box
restaurant at this location. “At that hearing, the Commission noted that we
could proceed with remodeling the existing building, and in the months
following that hearing we’ve worked with the City of San Diego on securing all
of the necessary permits for the remodel,” said Luscomb.
“Although we’re
disappointed that we were unable to proceed with our plans to build a new
restaurant and make other improvements to the property, we believe the
remodeled restaurant will significantly enhance the property. The locations of
the driveways are not changing. Nor is the location and size of the building –
meaning we are not demolishing any of the exterior walls.
“When the restaurant
re-opens, the hours of operation will be the same, but the interior will be
completely different. We’ll be installing our new kitchen, and the restaurant
will include all-new furnishings and amenities, including ceramic tile floors,
decorative pendant lighting, graphic wall hangings and a mix of seating
styles,” said Luscomb.
