ITS FOUNDER PIONEERED THE DRIVE-THRU. Robert O. Peterson opened the first Jack in the Box restaurant in San Diego, Calif. in 1951 by converting one location of his Oscarâs restaurant chain into a new animal altogether: a drive-thru hamburger stand.
One day, he encountered a salesman in St. Louis who was selling boxes of pasta with bags of grated cheese attached to it with a rubber band, and had one of those âlight bulbâ moments. In 1937, Kraft was the first to sell boxed macaroni and cheese, and it became an instant hit. The reasons behind the blue boxâs success are manifold. It was the height of the great depression and the product was inexpensive, and its shelf life of 10 months was certainly attractive in a time when not everyone had refrigerators.
