I remember going to this jack in the box on my lunch breaks....I pass this little place almost every week and it brings back so many good memories! Sad when it closed down :(
What took out that Jack in the Box location in Denton, was the non-stop construction on Loop 288. The expansion of Loop 288 pretty much destroyed any business the Jack in the Box on Loop 288 was receiving. The CoronaVirus situation didn't help anything either. The shutting down of restaurant, and businesses for HEALTH REASONS pretty much ruined any chance of that Jack in the Box continuing operations. Prior to all that construction, that Jack in the Box was wall to wall traffic. Especially the drive-thru. I worked nights, and that was the only restaurant that was close to steady traffic. Whataburger was stand-still traffic in their drive-thru.
Is it possible that they simply relocated to the location further up the road? I promised my daughter JitB tacos one night, and thankfully looked up where it was rather than drive to the closed location that I had been going to since the 80s. I mean, it seems like everything relocated further up the road. Back when 288 went OVER the rail road tracks, rather than under it, Target, Long John Silvers, and other places were closer to that JitB, mostly because that mall was still new and got traffic when those locations first opened.
Bro I've went to that Jack in The Box as a child and it was the best one. Man thank you for filming its interior. But glad someone filmed it and my I did shed a tear of joy. Thank you once again.
I moved to Denton in 94 and that Jack and a box was always busy. For years we knew that it would one day be closed cause city wanted it and sure will be torn down one day for a road expiation. Denton has grown so much since 94. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and enjoy the small town it was and get video. You should look up the old DPS in denton it blow your mind how small it is was for our big city. They just shut it down in 21 after opening the new big DPS offices.
Another great video!! Glad your having fun in TX. If you ever make it to my neck of the woods in California there are so much abandoned stores here. We love you channel and keep up the great work
Really cool to see someone explore all these places that become invisible to those of us who have passed it by, paying no mind after all these years. Didn't even know that Jack had closed! I also loved watching your video of the Grandy's, my dad worked at one in town making cinnamon rolls when he was a teen and we ate at that location on University sooo many times growing up it was really such a sad time seeing it go, and driving by and seeing it in it's state everyday is equally so. Thanks for documenting this stuff!
So weird! I just happened upon this video on my feed and I live near it. I never go to jack in the box but one day my bf and I decided to order and the next day they were closed! There was no sign saying they were about to close, so I hope their employees had time to find new employment! I hope this gets turned to something else soon because it’s such an eyesore. Denton has changed astronomically in the past ten years. It makes me sad and I want to leave :(
That entire strip mall has died - Decades ago there was a Tia's Mexican, which was da bomb. Red Lobster also used to be there but moved. I was honestly shocked how long JITB stayed there.
Your not missing anything from Jack and the Box. I just had it for the first time a few weeks ago. I did a video of it on my channel. It’s good food if it’s late and your drunk. 😆 We have a lot of abandoned restaurants here in Bryan/College Station. I’m most surprised that our Red Lobster closed last year. It always was packed with people. I think Covid did not help either with these restaurants closing. But We still have Whataburger. 🥰
Wallie why don't you come down to Cleburne there's an abandoned Susannah's down here. By the way I had Whataburger tonight i love that creamy pepper sauce.
I ate at this place many times. I live a couple miles from it. A homeless person probably is living by the dumpster. There are alot of homeless people in that area. Anywhere along 35 actually. Alot of them around both Ft Worth Drive and University nowadays too.
There are two closed Jack in the Box in Hurst area near where you did the video of that Costco about 2 miles apart from each other. Hurst approved a new one and after it opened they closed the other two, even though hey said they would not. And yes, the food is not that great and you are not missing anything, but I do like White Castle. I hate Denton, got a speeding ticket on that same street years ago and it was $300 for just 10 and under. The roads are messed up with how the flow through the city and can be confusing to new people. I avoid it at all costs and will go out of my way to take other routes even if it is way out of the way. I see you have your Buc-ee's shirt on from that video, so did you stop by there before or after this video ;)
I remember Jack in the box being on 20/20 back in the 1990s I was in highschool some kids like 6 years old died or was hospitalized, so sad. They talked about the way Jack in the box was put in their meats that can harm you make you sick.
The problem with Jack In The Box was in the '90s e-coli from slightly uncooked burgers. After that JitB changed both their sanitary norms (their newer norms were implemented by the US Gov't as regulations for restaurants) and their beef suppliers. But still most of their food is "nothing out of the ordinary", most known for their ads.
That location was always Jack-in-the-box. I liked their sourdough bread sandwiches. They had a breakfast, a turkey & cheese and a cheeseburger version. The endless construction on I-35E and Loop 288 then covid probably took them out. *That ER place across the parking lot was originally Red Lobster. There was a decent Tex-Mex place at the far corner of the strip shops under the billboard that was then a Genghis Grill.
Hello, I am opening a taqeria in October, in this place, so it will be cool tacos, barbacoa, Texas biria, BBQ brisket, like at buc-cees, I cook great pure Mexico style food!!!
That JIB was in great location but they sucked.. they have excellent Egg Rolls. They had awful service. It seemed people didn't come to work. Often it would be closed. So do you live in Denton??? I love Denton. Hey what about that old crappy house on 288 and shady shores it's a old abandoned house l worn out there is Aldi nearby. Awesome video. Thanks. Bucees is great.
I live in Denton now but a few years back I lived in Waco and worked at Jack in The Box there. The food was really good back when I worked there...we were always busy...I think mostly because we were right off of I35 and the city had just built a water park( Hawaiian Falls?) so people would stop on their way home from the park. I think I may have been to this Jack in the box when I first moved to Denton...I vaguely remember service being awful and they would close before scheduled hours?? I was driving for Door Dash, so I've been to many of the restaurants in Denton to pick up food...BTW...I'm originally from the Chicagoland area...born and raised and White Castle is disgusting!! LOL...I also drove for Door Dash in Illinois, the 3rd shift and would often have to pick up orders from White Castle...can't tell you how many times I sat in drive thru for over 45 minutes waiting to be next in line for my order...the food smelled awful...lol...Nice Buccees T shirt BTW...I love Buccees😁😁😁 also...your girl says Whataburger like a Texan..lol...WATERBURGER😆😆😆
This is my city. This location got pretty nasty the last couple of years it was open and that little area is a gathering area for the homeless panhandlers.
Never ate at that Jack N the Crack however, I have only lived here for 2 yrs now. Didn't realize it was closed until now. Overall, Denton is a nice town...much nicer than Dallas IMO.
I love the sourdough breakfast sandwich at Jack In The Box, including that particular restaurant. Whataburger used to be my favorite but now don’t even consider having it anymore, and as for Tacos, forget Taco Buena, head over to Taco Casa, I consider it has the best tacos of any fast food taco.
Like 30 yrs ago at that very jack n the box they had this hot little manager she drove a black 66 mustang I ate so many damn tacos just to see her and talk to her the funny thing is just a few yrs ago she became my wife and just to think that place is close now and thats where me and her all started
Jack n the box food is really good. She doesn't know what she is talking about. The only thing to really avoid are their pathetic excuses for tacos. Their breakfast is good and their burgers are really good too.
You're better off at Wendy's. At least Wendy's food tastes fresh. Jack In The Box would have been a national chain by now if it wasn't for their E Coli outbreak back in 1993. They're stuck as a regional southwestern US chain because of that incident.
Jack in The Box is not what it used to be. I would enjoy a good hamburger that was inexpensive and of good size. Over the last several years the size has shrunk and the cost ballooned. They try to make their food sound like it is gourmet food. Just noticed the other day a Jack-In-The-Box in Mesquite TX I used to stop at regularly has now been closed too.
I come across those chargers and challengers often and occasionally they will endanger your life with their maneuvering and speeding. I can’t stand them. To me their just vile of the roads , garbage .
@@seanchaney3086 they've been quietly behind the scenes, but now they're infiltrating the city out on the open. Under the overpass at 35 and 380. Junk accumulating under the bridge
I once attempted to stay at that hotel right next to it and left it was the grossest place I've ever seen I bought it through Priceline and they even gave me my money back it had a meth pipe and cockroaches in the room
Thank you for this. I used to skate behind this place!
31 years ago that was my first job at that exact location and it’s always been a Jack in the Box. Best job I ever had as a teen.
I remember going to this jack in the box on my lunch breaks....I pass this little place almost every week and it brings back so many good memories! Sad when it closed down :(
Same here
Why did they close it in the first place?
What took out that Jack in the Box location in Denton, was the non-stop construction on Loop 288. The expansion of Loop 288 pretty much destroyed any business the Jack in the Box on Loop 288 was receiving.
The CoronaVirus situation didn't help anything either. The shutting down of restaurant, and businesses for HEALTH REASONS pretty much ruined any chance of that Jack in the Box continuing operations.
Prior to all that construction, that Jack in the Box was wall to wall traffic. Especially the drive-thru. I worked nights, and that was the only restaurant that was close to steady traffic. Whataburger was stand-still traffic in their drive-thru.
This location was shut down because of eminent domain by the state department of transportation.
Is the Jack over near the University (near Fry St) still closed?
@@kimjohnson8471 It's opened.
jack in the box opened in 2 8 8 in houston texas
Is it possible that they simply relocated to the location further up the road?

I Love Your Abandoned Jack in The Box Awesome Video Wallie I'm Glad You Made The Awesome Video for Tonight!!
Another great video!! Glad your having fun in TX. If you ever make it to my neck of the woods in California there are so much abandoned stores here. We love you channel and keep up the great work
Awesome Wallie
Denton is a great college town and I went to UNT there and I enjoyed it.

WallieB26 totally awesome and cool abandoned Jack in the box! Really enjoyed your video!
A great video, Wallie and Kayla! Have a Texaslicious Day!
Great Video Wallie!! Have an Amazing Day and a Better one Tomorrow to!
Denton was great when I would often visit from 1999-05 and lived there back in 2005. I sort of still live here...
Ha! I remember this Jack in the box too!!! I still can't believe it closed...
Awesome video man

I love Jack in the box! Food is good to me!
Weirdo in the box u had very productive trip to Texas great video
Jack in the Box restaurants are closing up like crazy. And honestly, the food is pretty good for the most part.
Jack in the box egg rolls are awesome!
There’s an abandoned jack in the box in northern Cincinnati too. Right off I-75 on tylerville rd.
So weird! I just happened upon this video on my feed and I live near it. I never go to jack in the box but one day my bf and I decided to order and the next day they were closed! There was no sign saying they were about to close, so I hope their employees had time to find new employment!

That billboard to the right🤣🤣
OMG I USED TO LOVE THAT JACK IN THE BOX IN MY CHILDHOOD AND I ALWAYS USED TO GO THERE BEFORE BUT NOW IT'S ABANDONED AND I LIVE IN NEAR THAT PLACE
I miss this place I pass by it every day:(
There was a closed Jack in the box here. They demo the building and built a quick lube oil change type place.
Denton is chill. Fry street is fun.
That entire strip mall has died - Decades ago there was a Tia's Mexican, which was da bomb. Red Lobster also used to be there but moved. I was honestly shocked how long JITB stayed there.
"Look at the front, where it says Ames real big" never gets old.

I grew up and Denton and I had no idea that this location had even closed
Wallie why don't you come down to Cleburne there's an abandoned Susannah's down here. By the way I had Whataburger tonight i love that creamy pepper sauce.
I did a video there! Lol you'll see it soon!
Look at the billboard, where it says I Make Sexy Teeth real big! 😂😂 Fun video!
Good video! This place was really cleaned out, when it closed up! No food for you!!
I ate at this place many times. I live a couple miles from it. A homeless person probably is living by the dumpster. There are alot of homeless people in that area. Anywhere along 35 actually. Alot of them around both Ft Worth Drive and University nowadays too.
The dining room is gutted, yet the dining room floor looks to be in decent shape.
I never beeN to jack in a box but I swear is a one when we went to Magic Kingdom
Good afternoon from Boston Massachusetts
Hi! I have a cousin that lives in Boston! Small world. Hope you are having a nice day!
Went to school near Denton back in the day 2011 2012 to be exact and I have been to that jack in the box it was alright nothing crazy about it lol
You should visit the Turkey Hill Experience!
3:03 I'm 44 and it has been a Jack in the Box for as long as I can remember.
Cool, I live 10 minutes from here in Sanger.
I live in Denton and the city bought the land to expand the highway.
I've been to that Jack in the Box many times I don't know why it's closed
This one was a bad location. Yeah it’s off i35 and loop 288 but the traffic and slow service probably caused them to shut down
When will Kayla appear on camera again dude? Great video by the way
Not speaking for him I don't think she is going to
There are two closed Jack in the Box in Hurst area near where you did the video of that Costco about 2 miles apart from each other.

I see you have your Buc-ee's shirt on from that video, so did you stop by there before or after this video ;)
In my opinion Wallie Krystal is the south version of White Castle in the North
Omg! I use to work there!!!
I used to work at this jack in the box
I was wondering when you’d reference the billboard in the background 🤣
Me too
Can you go to a abandoned fallas paredes they just close out last week here in dallas tx in oak cliff in the wynnewood village please.
Weve never had one of those yet in williamsport Pennsylvania too or a white castle yet too kh

JITB moved down the other end of 288, next to Discount Tire. It's still alive and kicking!
Oh yes the squatters love denton! They call it a mini portland
I got food poisoning at a Jack n the Box and never went back
Hello, I am opening a taqeria in October, in this place, so it will be cool tacos, barbacoa, Texas biria, BBQ brisket, like at buc-cees, I cook great pure Mexico style food!!!
I love couples! 👩❤️👨

That JBox was there for at least 20yrs. The first in Denton I believe.
Can you please explore Appalachia Virginia there are a lot of abandoned places here
We have 2 Jack In The Box locations in the Cincinnati, OH area. The food is actually pretty good.
When I was in high school we called it Jack in the Crack.
Sames here
So when did they stop?
Denton has lots of homeless population, sent by City of Dallas.
The sourdough burger and fajita pita is good.
Jack in the box is a great place to eat in my opinion, but it's also cool to see a abandoned Jack In The Box in Texas! :)

I’ve eaten at this location a couple times when I worked near there a couple years ago.
This is my city. This location got pretty nasty the last couple of years it was open and that little area is a gathering area for the homeless panhandlers.
Jack in the Box kinda gets a bad rep, but it’s my favorite fast food joint. Lol.
JIB was good up till early '90s then it went down hill when they took things off menus and changing menu items
behind you used to be a the restaurant that was great I forgot the name of it it was a real Tortilla Factory
Jack in a box was on food inc movie where a 12 year kid died
From e-coli contamination from their slightly undercooked burgers. They had to change their sanitary norms and their beef suppliers.
Never ate at that Jack N the Crack however, I have only lived here for 2 yrs now. Didn't realize it was closed until now. Overall, Denton is a nice town...much nicer than Dallas IMO.
I actually like Jack in the box but I’ve only had like two or three times. There are none in Arkansas. What a shame.
Jack in the box has good breakfast but that's it
I love the sourdough breakfast sandwich at Jack In The Box, including that particular restaurant. Whataburger used to be my favorite but now don’t even consider having it anymore, and as for Tacos, forget Taco Buena, head over to Taco Casa, I consider it has the best tacos of any fast food taco.
Mr Denton on Doomsday, folks...
Always been a jack in the box
I'll take Whataburger over Jack in the Box any day.
How weird would it be if you were looking in the drive thru window and a homeless person looked out the window at you
Had my first double date here
hi wallieB26
Be careful in Denton I have lived here for a while now and it’s bit sketchy.
Yeah, a lot of sketch books
Is it just me or was there someone in the dumpster area
I had that feeling someone was. Hence why I didn't check.
Photobombed by the I Make Sexy Teeth sign!
Is this Jack in the box?

Yes Jack in the Box is nasty. But also Denton is full of homless poeple it is truly sad...
The tacos are legendary...
And Denton is the newest landing pad for homeless people. It's a VERY blue city.
Go check out Fry street.....
