A new ceasefire has happened in the great fast food wars. Jack in the Box, popular late-nite snackery, has purchased Del Taco. Reportedly, a sum of upwards of $575 million exchanged hands. No word on whether it was in cardboard boxes or paper bags.
Darin Harris, Jack in the Box CEO, said of the news:
“Joining forces will provide additional resources to drive innovation to create more unique, innovative menu items and exceptional guest experiences. This will allow Jack and Del Taco to better engage with their existing guests and reach new ones.”
The deal is expected to finalize sometime in early 2022.
