I can see that.  They need one in downtown that it open until 3am!  They would do a killing over lunch and late night!

Midtown crossing would make sense.  Lunch traffic from downtown / midtown/ UNMC, plus enough residential between Midtown Crossing and other downtown/midtown residents.  While I'd love one down here in downtown / North Downtown / the Old Market, I feel like there isn't the population to support it for evening business quite yet, as if somebody is coming to the  OM for dinner, they wouldn't choose a chain place like that.  The only possible fit for a location might be Brandeis in a food court / anchor restaurant location.

I can say for sure that if it was healthy, I would eat there several times a week!

Pepperjax is good, definitely get it with jalepenos and "fireball". It seems like every time I have it for lunch I am unproductive in the afternoon and feel like taking a long nap. Also, it seems to trigger a trip to the restroom about an hour later...

Has anyone else gotten the "double meat?" Almost killed myself doing that.

Why is Pepperjax now listed on the Restaurants Inc website? Did they buy them?

Heard Pepperjax is moving their HQ to Colorado and going to blow up. 100+ locations quickly.

This isn't a rumor. The headquarters is moving to Denver and was bought by a team made up of individuals that used to make up much of corporate Qdoba and money from a private equity firm out of SF. I can't speak to whether it'll blow up to over a hundred stores, although I know some of the individuals involved in the new ownership will tell you that. They also claim to have purchased some 37-40 stores for almost $60 million.

Well, time to write them off. Like many former Omaha food outlets, once they go corporate, their food starts to decline. Liked the (unhealthy)
food. Liked the local base. Without the local base, it's just a sandwhich shop with massively unhealthy food. Bye.
