Overview

  • Lynsi Snyder confirmed she is moving her family and leadership team to Franklin, Tennessee to oversee a new regional headquarters.
  • In-N-Out plans to open up to 35 restaurants across Tennessee, enabled by fresh beef shipments from its Texas processing facility.
  • Snyder cited the difficulty of raising a family and operating under California’s regulatory and wage mandates as key reasons for the relocation.
  • The company will close its Irvine corporate office by 2030 and consolidate all West Coast operations at its original Baldwin Park site.
  • Snyder’s remarks about California prompted social media calls for a boycott from some customers.
