Shrinkflation has seen many consumers complain about getting less product for more money, which is seeing some brands take aim to get weary customers back in store as with these new Jack in the Box value deals.
The brand has announced it will be bringing back larger cup sizes to offer customers 25% more ounces in every soda they serve. The brand has also committed to lowering prices at the drive-thru with 61% of Jack combos coming in at less than $10 in a variety of markets in the US. The company will also be running a series of promotions now through the end of the year that are focused on elevating value and encouraging customers to come in more often.
EVP, Chief Customer and Digital Officer Ryan Ostrom spoke on the Jack in the Box value deals saying, "At Jack in the Box, we've always been for the people: the cravings they have, the value they deserve and the variety they love. We heard loud and clear from our fans that we've been missing the mark on some of the key value points that consumers truly care about, and we're committed to making it right. Our new cup rollout is the latest step we're taking towards fighting shrinkflation and giving consumers more for less, a strategy you'll continue to see hit our menus in the future
