After testing the water with new locations in Arizona and Colorado, the growing In-N-Out Burger chain has announced plans to build in other states, particularly to the east of the Mississippi River.
Based in Baldwin Park, California, the fast-food restaurant company has enjoyed great popularity with its specially grilled hamburgers, including an item called the “Double-Double,” which is made up of two hamburger slices and two slices of cheese.
With annual revenue at around $1.1 billion, the restaurant chain, founded in 1948, has built stores primarily along the West coast and in parts of Utah and Texas. An expansion in Arizona and Colorado has been underway for the last three years.
Now the company has announced plans to build a new $125 million, 100,000 square foot headquarters location in Franklin, Tennessee, with new restaurants also slated for Nashville, among other places.
Described as a “cult-favorite burger chain” by the industry publication QSR, In-N-Out Burgers, with nearly 400 locations now up and running, is also known for a service staff that wears uniforms and paper hats, much as they did in the 1950s.
Last week the company also said it has plans to build a new restaurant in Loveland, Colorado.
The typical In-N-Out store usually measure around 3,800 square feet and houses 75 seats.
