San Diego-based Jack in the Box submitted plans to the Louisville Metro Government for another Louisville restaurant, this time at 10700 Dixie Highway in Valley Station. The building was formerly home to Chillburger, which is now closed.
The filing shows the restaurant will be 2,494 square feet. The building is owned by Valley Station Shopping Center LLC, according to the Jefferson County Property Valuation Administrator website.
New York-based APD Engineering & Architecture is providing its services on the project, the filing shows. Frank Bellis, founding partner at TRIO Commercial Property Group, is representing Jack in the Box in its expansion.
No price or timeline is disclosed in the plans.

Louisville Metro Government has partnered with the Louisville Sustainability Council to launch the Solar Over Louisville solarize campaign to give households in the greater Louisville region the opportunity to go solar together and support the city’s 100% clean energy goals. The campaign will give residents bulk-purchasing power to obtain discounted wholesale rates for solar installation. Going solar will help you reduce your energy bills, potentially increase your property’s value, support local solar jobs, and help Louisville meet its goal of using 100% clean energy community-wide by 2040! Solar Over Louisville makes investing in solar easy by connecting participants with a vetted solar installer, providing a step-by-step walk-through of the solar installation process, and helping participants access discounted rates on solar. Currently, our selected solar installation partner, Solar Energy Solutions is offering a 12-19% discount. To learn more about the program and sign up, please visit: www.100PercentLou.com/2040.
