In-N-Out Burger Locations Are Packed from Opening to Closing, But President Is Relocating to Tennessee

When I was a young whatever back in the 1970s, I remember that people would take cases of Coors beer back with them on airplanes because the brew was only available on the West Coast. Now, of course, it is nationwide, if not worldwide.

In-N-Our Burgers opened in Baldwin Park, California, 77 years ago. The burger chain now has 418 locations, but none is farther east than Texas. California is still home to half of the fast-food havens. I say haven because people swear by the In-N-Out Burger as the best ever created.

I have no beef with that. Burgers can be fancier and costlier, but rarely if ever better.

Now, word comes out that the president of In-N-Out is bailing from the chain’s home state of California for Tennessee, citing family considerations.

Lynsi Snyder, 48, billionaire heiress and president, revealed her motive in relocating by saying: “There’s a lot of great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here. We’re building an office in Franklin [Tennessee,] so I’m actually moving out there.”

Snyder also mentioned crime in the Stolen State. She had to close an 18-year-old location in Oakland this past year due to gun violence.

She explained: “There was actually — gunshots went through the store, there was a stabbing, there was a lot.”

In-N-Out fans who have sampled the company’s signature burger and fries in their many iterations, but who live outside the company’s current map, might be elated that In-N-Out may finally be coming east.

‘Tis a consummation devoutely to be wished,” they whisper at long last.

At least if they read Shakespeare, they might.
