Owners Joe and Barbara Moore re-opened Jacks Monday after purchasing the building last October. The 1950s burger institution suffered a fire in early 2007 and has been closed since, but North High alumni Albert Murray bought the building and contents at auction in May of 2007 to keep it from disappearing. The Moores promised Murry they would restore the burger joint to its original glory when they bought it. Moore said he wanted to open during spring break to work out the bugs, so to speak, before school resumes next week. He said he has never worked in a resturaunt before. "They're gonna hit us hard," he said. "They're gonna hit us real hard."
