What exactly was the reason Jack In The Box closed alot of locations in the mid 90's

All of them were closed in Colorado in 1996.I heard it was an Ecoli breakout,but another person told me Kangaroo meat was found in the burgers.What happened?What exactly was the reason Jack In The Box closed alot of locations in the mid 90's
The Colorado restaurants closed in 1996 when the local franchisee decided to pull the plug. I'm not sure of the reason, but it's highly likely that the bad publicity created by a fatal E.coli outbreak back in 1993 resulted in unsustainable financial losses.



The "kangaroo meat" idea is ridiculous - apart from anything else, kangaroo meat is perfectly edible and is absolutely delicious (if you've never tried a kangaroo steak or burger, you don't know what you're missing).



Jack in the Box has been opening new restaurants in Colorado since late 2007, and these are company-owned stores, not franchises.What exactly was the reason Jack In The Box closed alot of locations in the mid 90's
It was an e. coli outbreak that killed some kids, if memory serves.



Why would kangaroo meat matter? For some reason that's some myth that's perpetuated but it's ridiculous if you think about it. How would it get there? And more importantly, so what if it did? It's still meat, you can eat it, their problem wasn't cooking the meat hot enoughWhat exactly was the reason Jack In The Box closed alot of locations in the mid 90's
It was a breakout of either e coli or salmonella. I don't remember which one, but I do remember the breakout.
