Baldwin County’s first Jack’s location is set to open in mid-February.

Kylee Jackson, Jack’s digital marketing coordinator, spoke with Gulf Coast Media in early January about the Loxley location before the brand made a public announcement. Today, the brand announced the location and opening time frame in a press release.

Jack’s, based in Homewood has 250 locations across four states: Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and Mississippi. Currently, the closest Jack’s to Baldwin County is the Atmore location or Citronelle.

“We are proud to extend our roots by opening more locations in Alabama, our home state,” Jack’s Restaurants CEO Todd Bartmess said in the press release. “We’re committed to providing friendly service, quality Southern food and being good neighbors.”

Construction on the Loxley Jack’s, located at 3425 Hickory St., is well underway and will feature the brand’s “Southern Charm” architectural design with an open dining room, front porch with rocking chairs, large window to allow guests to see the biscuits being made and a single drive-through.

Guests will have a wide selection of menu items to choose from that include hand-breaded chicken, made-from-scratch biscuits, burgers and hand scooped milkshakes.

The Loxley location is currently hiring. Interested residents are encouraged to visit www.eatatjacks.com.

“At Jack’s, we value being community partners and a place where everyone can expect to be served like family,” Bartmess said. “We are excited to continue to grow in Lower Alabama and look forward to immersing into the city of Loxley.”
