   In-N-Out Targets Four More States in Eastward Expansion

   In-N-Out Burger president Lynsi Snyder has revealed that the fast-food chain is eyeing an eastward push into four more states. While speaking with actor Terry Crews to mark the company's 78th anniversary, Snyder teased upcoming locations in three new states alongside one state slated for a heavy store presence. This expansion plan continues the brand's gradual march out of its Western stronghold while maintaining its deep roots in California. The company is also opening a new drive-thru location in the Los Angeles suburb of Sherman Oaks.

   Why it matters

   Founded in Baldwin Park, California, in 1948 by Esther and Harry Snyder, the family-owned chain has long maintained a cautious approach to geographic growth. President Lynsi Snyder previously stated that leaving California would be a poor business decision, ensuring the company keeps a permanent home base even as it targets new markets. The brand relies on a strict distribution supply chain, which historically limited how far east its restaurants could travel from regional patty-making facilities.

   What is confirmed

   • In-N-Out Burger president Lynsi Snyder revealed that the chain is targeting four more states for an eastward expansion.
   • The company is planning a new drive-thru location in Sherman Oaks, California, just off the 405 Freeway along Sepulveda Boulevard.

   • Oklahoma is one of the specific states being eyed for the upcoming expansion push.
