Jack in the Box manager enjoys serving Maricopa

May 8, 2008

Maricopa’s Jack in the Box is among those sporting a fresh look, while promising changes beyond cosmetic with menu updates in the works.

The restaurant, redecorated in recent weeks, now has ceramic tile floors and wall collages, along with updated pendant lighting. The seating styles have changed, as well, adding a mixture of booths, high-top tables and bars.

The exterior of the restaurant on John Wayne Parkway in the Fry’s Marketplace shopping center, has also been updated with new paint and landscaping.

However, according to Ray Rahmon, changes will not stop there. Jack-in-the-Box will continue to diversify its menu by adding new items within the next few years.

But don’t expect Rahmon to let the secret out of the box early when it comes to what those food items might be. Maricopa will just have to wait and see.
