In-N-out Burger eyes expansion to Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma
Lynsi Snyder, CEO of In-N-Out Burger, has indicated potential future expansion into Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma. The California-based chain, founded in 1948 by Harry and Esther Snyder, prioritizes quality over rapid growth, according to Snyder’s recent interview with Terry Crews.
“I just want to make sure that everything is right and that our In-N-Out family is strong, and we’re retaining all those values,” Snyder stated, emphasizing the chain’s commitment to cleanliness, quality, and service.
The company maintains strict standards, including fresh ingredients delivered daily and a policy against using microwaves or freezers. Patties are produced in facilities located in California and Texas.
In-N-Out’s expansion has been gradual. Washington state welcomed its first location in August 2025, and Tennessee became home to the chain’s easternmost restaurants on December 10 last year, now boasting five locations with a sixth planned. New Mexico is slated to receive its first In-N-Out in 2027, marking the chain’s 11th state.
Snyder expressed a preference for limited availability, stating, “I feel like there’s a special peace knowing that In-N-Out isn’t everywhere.” While the chain has been expanding, Snyder noted the growth is measured. The company currently operates 299 locations in California, a region Snyder affirmed remains central to In-N-Out’s identity.
“This is where we started, it’s where we are now and it’s where we’ll always be,” she said.
