In-N-Out Burger is returning to its roots

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) – In-N-Out Burger, one of Southern California’s most popular fast-food chains, has announced plans to move its corporate headquarters back to where it all began more than 75 years ago.

In a news release shared with media outlets, the company said it will move its home office from Irvine, in Orange County, to Baldwin Park in the San Gabriel Valley, by 2029.

In-N-Out founder Harry Snyder opened his first burger stand at Francisquito and Garvey avenues in Baldwin Park in 1948. It has been headquartered in Irvine since the mid-1990s.

“In every decision about the future of In-N-Out Burger, I give strong consideration to what my grandparents and my family would think is best for our company,” Lynsi Snyder, granddaughter and owner of the company, said in the release. “I know my family would be in support of this move because it brings our In-N-Out family back together in a way that helps us better serve our Customers, who are the most important priority.”

The very first In-N-Out burger opened in 1948 at a tiny stand at Francisquito and Garvey avenues in Baldwin Park, a suburb of Los Angeles. Harry and Esther Snyder are credited with inventing the world’s first drive-thru with a two-way speaker box that same year. (Photo courtesy: In-N-Out Burger)

Harry Snyder passed away in 1976 leaving his sons, Rich and Guy, and his widow, Esther, in charge of the company. Rich, Lynsi’s uncle, died in 1993, and Guy, her father, died in 1999. Esther passed away in 2006, and four years later, Lynsi became president of the family business. It remains privately owned.

The majority of In-N-Out’s corporate staff will either work at the new Baldwin Park office or in Franklin, Tennessee, where a new “Eastern territory” office is under construction, the news release said.

The company has announced plans to open several dozen locations in the Volunteer State in the coming years, according to Retail Wire.

As of February, In-N-Out had more than 400 restaurants in California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Idaho, New Mexico and Washington.
