&ldquo;The feud between some Jack in the Box franchisees and the San Diego-based restaurant chain heated up again this week, with the fast-food outlet operators once again calling for a change in corporate leadership,&rdquo; according to an article in the <a href="https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/restaurants/story/2019-04-04/jack-in-the-box-franchise-group-renews-call-for-new-managemen?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=tensions-rise-as-jack-in-the-boxs-franchise-system-call-for-ceo-resignation-again-2709649" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">San Diego Tribune</a>.

According to the article, &ldquo;roughly 90 percent&rdquo; of the QSR brand&rsquo;s 2,1000 stores are party to Jack in the Box&rsquo;s National Franchisee Association (NFA).

In response to the demand for a change in leadership, the San Diego Tribune article said, Jack in the Box corporate formed a Franchise Advisory Council (FAC) to promote &ldquo;feedback between Jack in the Box&rsquo;s franchise operators and the company&rsquo;s management.&rdquo; NFA members argued that &ldquo;a Strategic Leadership Council has been in place for years to do the same thing. It was created as part of an agreement between the association and the company to resolve a prior dispute,&rdquo; according to the article.

&ldquo;The NFA said the FAC is Jack in the Box&rsquo;s &ldquo;latest attempt to minimize the organization,&rdquo; and said it highlights the board of director&rsquo;s lack of engagement during the conflict,&rdquo; according to the article in QSR.

As volatility in the restaurant industry&mdash;and in particular, the QSR space&mdash;continues, such disputes may become increasingly common.
