Popular fast-food burger chain aims major comeback amid closures | Official Website of Louis Velazquez, entrepreneur, finance guy and tech innovator

Nothing is worse than staying up late and getting hungry in the middle of the night, but having nearly no options available.

Luckily, many fast-food restaurants are open late or even 24 hours, and most have value meals that make buying food too tempting to pass up.

However, not many have an entire menu dedicated to late-night munchies.

Jack in the Box introduced the first Munchie Meal in 2013 as part of its late-night menu expansion. This offering provided customers with more options packed into a value meal for an affordable price.

This addition also encouraged customers to purchase late-night meals at their local Jack in the Box rather than with the competition, aiming to increase sales during extended hours.

Since its debut, the fast-food chain has launched multiple versions of the Munchie Meal and collaborations with top celebrities, including Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg.

Jack in the Box unveils the latest Munchie Meal collaboration

Jack in the Box (JACK) has partnered with musical artist T-Pain to launch the latest Munchie Meal collaboration.

The new T-Pain Munchie Meal includes a Burg-R-Tater Melt or Chick-N-Tater Melt, a taco, medium seasoned curly fries, a Stuffed Cookie, and a small drink. This latest addition also comes with an exclusive collector’s edition T-Pain air freshener.

If none of the selected items appeal to your taste buds, customers can customize their own with the Build Your Own Munchie Meal, where they can choose any entrée, two sides, and a drink.

The T-Pain Munchie Meal is available until July 27 at all Jack in the Box restaurants nationwide and can be ordered via the Jack app or online through the Jack in the Box website.

But that’s not all. Jack in the Box and T-Pain are rolling out “Jack Zone Wars,” a Fortnite gaming experience exclusively made for this collaboration and dedicated to all gamers.

Players who order a Munchie Meal on the Jack app can unlock special weapons that will give them an advantage in the game. T-Pain will also host a live-streamed Fortnite event on June 26 to join players.

Jack in the Box reveals a new plan with hundreds of store closures

Jack in the Box unveiled its multi-faceted “Jack on Track” plan in April to improve its long-term financial performance by closing around 150 to 200 underperforming restaurants.

“Our actions today focus on three main areas: addressing our balance sheet to accelerate cash flow and pay down debt, while preserving growth-oriented capital investments related to technology and restaurant reimage; closing underperforming restaurants to position ourselves for consistent net unit growth and competitive unit economics; and, an overall return to simplicity for the Jack in the Box business model and investor story,” said Jack in the Box CEO Lance Tucker in the announcement.

This announcement comes after the fast-food chain reported same-store sales declines for company-owned restaurants of 0.4% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to last year.

Jack in the Box is doing everything it can to return the business to growth, and launching a Munchie Meal that encourages customer engagement is a step closer to helping it regain its lost market share.
