In-N-Out will open its first 3 Tennesee locations this week

"Drive-thrus will open in Lebanon and Antioch on Wednesday, Dec. 10 and Murfreesboro on Friday, Dec. 12, according to a news release. News agencies in Tennessee are not yet reporting what kinds of crowds are expected, but In-N-Out's debut in the Southeast has been eagerly anticipated. The expansion will bring the total number of In-N-Out restaurants to 431 and officially put the chain in 10 states: California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Texas, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Tennessee."

"In-N-Out currently has its headquarters in Irvine, but plans to pull its leadership out of Orange County by the end of the decade and operate out of Baldwin Park, its hometown, and new offices for an "eastern hub" in Franklin, also a Nashville suburb. The area is considered Middle Tennessee. In mid-July, Lynsi Snyder, In-N-Out's owner and president, created a media sensation when she said in a podcast that her family will be moving to Tennessee."

"The managers of the three new restaurants are all In-N-Out veterans, with more than 60 years experience combined in the company, the news release said. Employees will start at $17.50 an hour. In California, starting rates are $22-$23. The Franklin project has been in the works for years. Snyder and other officials broke ground on the 100,000-square foot office building in Franklin in September 2024. Its address is 1948 Double Double Drive. It is expected to open in 2026."

Three In-N-Out drive-thrus will open in Lebanon and Antioch on Dec. 10 and Murfreesboro on Dec. 12, marking the chain's entry into Tennessee and the Southeast. The expansion raises the restaurant count to 431 and places In-N-Out in 10 states. Headquarters remain in Irvine while leadership will relocate from Orange County by decade's end, with Baldwin Park and new Franklin offices serving as operational hubs. Managers for the Tennessee locations are longtime company veterans. Entry wages will start at $17.50 an hour locally. Groundbreaking occurred for a 100,000-square-foot Franklin office expected to open in 2026.
