In-N-Out has more than 400 locations, mostly on the West Coast – but, so far, none in Nebraska.

That hasn’t stopped residents from asking, though. A survey by MarketBeat, a financial media company, shows the burger chain is the brand Nebraska residents would most like to see open in their state. The results of the survey are based on responses from more than 3,000 people across the country.

The restaurant, founded in 1948 in California, was a popular choice across the country. In addition to Nebraska, residents of 14 other states also chose it as their most wanted chain – Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

In recent years, In-N-Out has continued to expand outside of California, opening locations in Colorado, Idaho and Texas, USA TODAY reported. It also has announced plans to open restaurants in New Mexico and Tennessee. In-N-Out opened a restaurant in its ninth state on Aug. 20, 2025, with a restaurant in Ridgefield, Washington.

Judge sentences Northeast Nebraska man for sexual assault of a minor, faces possible deportation

WOODLAND PARK, Neb. (KTIV) – A Northeast Nebraska man was sentenced to prison after being convicted in May.

Authorities say 51-year-old Henry Pena-Urrutia of Norfolk was sentenced to six years in prison. The Stanton County Sheriff’s Office says Pena-Urrutia was also given 18 months of post-release supervision and will have to register as a sex offender after his time in prison.

In May, Pena-Urrutia pleaded guilty and was convicted of one count of sexual assault involving a minor. Deputies say the man also faces sex offense charges in both Kearney and Buffalo County after the sheriff’s investigation.

Stanton County deputies say Pena-Urrutia also faces possible deportation from the United States as he is here on a green card from El Salvador.

Pena-Urrutia was arrested in December 2025 after an investigation by the Stanton County Sheriff’s Office. As previously reported, the sheriff’s office was contacted by the Sherman County Sheriff’s Office about a possible sexual assault suspect who lived in Stanton County.

An investigation led the sheriff’s office to determine that a minor, younger than 11, was sexually assaulted at a Woodland Park residence.

Law enforcement was led to Pena-Urrutia after an interview with the minor. During an interview with Pena-Urrutia, he reportedly admitted to improper sexual contact with the minor on several occasions.

The two children in his Norfolk home were removed by deputies and placed in the custody of DHHS.
