“This divestiture is an important step in returning to simplicity, and we look forward to focusing on our core Jack in the Box brand. After a robust process, we are confident we have entered into a transaction with the right steward for Del Taco in its next chapter of evolution. We wish Del Taco success as they enter this next chapter.
