In-N-Out Burger's Idaho Debut Draws Overnight Campers and Long Lines

The California-based chain's first Idaho location marks its 400th restaurant, with plans for further expansion in the U.S.

In-N-Out Burger opened its first Idaho location in Meridian, marking the chain's 400th restaurant and its expansion into its eighth state.
Customers camped overnight and endured up to eight-hour waits in near-freezing temperatures to be among the first to order from the new location.
The company brought in an 'all-star team' of employees from across the U.S. to manage the opening, which was met with a massive response from the community.
In-N-Out plans to open additional locations in Idaho, as well as in Tennessee and New Mexico in the coming years.
The chain, known for its Double-Double and Animal-Style burgers, has a loyal fan base, and its expansion has sparked online debates about the quality and appeal of its food.
