"For years, In-N-Out maintained that its slow-growth approach was a direct result of its operational chain, saying that the company would only open in locations that could be reached from one of its distribution warehouses in less than a day's drive. For decades, that meant California only - until Texas came a-calling in 2011. Since then, the brand has steadily grown its footprint across the Western U.S., using North Texas as a new hub for distribution of its famously never-frozen, butchered-in-house beef."
""There's a lot of great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here. Doing business is not easy here," Snyder said on "Relatable." The comments were widely ridiculed by Californians loyal to the company and to their home state, leading to a follow-up video by Snyder that was meant to clarify her quotes. The cult-favorite fast food chain also announced in February that it would move 200 employees to Tennessee as part of a national corporate bifurcation plan."
In-N-Out limited openings to locations within a one-day drive of its distribution warehouses, historically confining expansion to California. Expansion began in 2011 when Texas became reachable, prompting use of North Texas as a distribution hub for never-frozen, in-house butchered beef. Plans advanced eastward with a 2023 announcement to enter Tennessee and build a large distribution center. The company will relocate corporate staff and establish a co-headquarters office park in Franklin, Tennessee. Leadership emphasizes preserving fresh, high-quality ingredients and rigorous partner standards while citing business and family-raising challenges in California. Florida demand has been declined.
