Overview

  • Owner Lynsi Snyder announced she and her family will relocate from California to Franklin, Tennessee, where In-N-Out is building its second corporate headquarters.
  • Snyder cited California’s high taxes, cost of living and regulatory hurdles as primary reasons for shifting leadership functions to Tennessee.
  • The chain reaffirmed its practice of limiting new restaurants to within 500 miles of its Lancaster, Texas, distribution center to maintain a fresh-ingredient supply.
  • Snyder said In-N-Out has no plans to expand to Florida or other East Coast states despite persistent fan interest.
  • In-N-Out currently operates over 400 locations in eight states and expects its first Washington state restaurant to open in the coming weeks.
