The burger chain plans to spread across Tennessee<\/a>, expanding to Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Memphis, opening more than a dozen locations.<\/p>\n In-N-Out is also opening new locations<\/a> in Arizona, California, and Colorado this year and debuting its first location in Washington.<\/p>\n Snyder, who grew up in Northern California, said on the podcast that “the bulk” of In-N-Out stores are still going to be in the state, but that she is looking forward to having more of a footprint in Tennessee.<\/p>\n “It will be wonderful having an office out there, growing out there, and being able to have the family and other people’s families out there,” Snyder said on the podcast.<\/p>\n In-N-Out<\/a> will also be consolidating its two existing California corporate offices, moving its Irvine headquarters to Baldwin Park, where the first In-N-Out location opened in the 1940s. Snyder disclosed on the podcast that the Irvine office will close by 2030 to complete the consolidation.<\/p>\n According to the California Department of Justice<\/a>, the violent crime rate in the state increased 15.1% from 2018 to 2023. According to Statista<\/a>, around 3,640 violent crimes per 100,000 residents were reported in Oakland, California, in 2023, making Oakland the most dangerous city in the U.S. that year. Snyder said last year<\/a> that rising crime and “absolutely dangerous” conditions caused In-N-Out to shut down a restaurant<\/a> in Oakland in March 2024, marking the first time in the burger chain’s 77-year history<\/a> that it had to shutter a restaurant.<\/p>\n Snyder said that the company closed the profitable Oakland location “for the safety of our associates,” adding that “gunshots went through the store, there was a stabbing, there was a lot.”<\/p>\n Related:<\/b> In-N-Out Burger Is Opening New Locations Outside of California \u2014 Here’s Where It’s Going Next<\/a><\/p>\n Snyder’s grandparents, Harry and Esther Snyder, founded In-N-Out<\/a> in 1948 as a single drive-thru hamburger restaurant in Baldwin Park, California. Today, the company has grown to more than 400 locations that bring in $2.1 billion a year<\/a>, according to consulting firm Technomic.<\/p>\n Snyder took over In-N-Out in 2017 at age 35 when she received the final portion of her inheritance<\/a> that gave her 97% ownership of the company. She became one of the world’s youngest billionaires<\/a> in the process.<\/p>\n In-N-Out differentiates itself from competitors by vowing to never freeze ingredients<\/a> and crafting fresh-to-order burgers. The company has also never franchised<\/a>, remaining privately owned.<\/p>\n According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Snyder has a net worth of $7.32 billion<\/a>, making her the 483rd richest person in the world.<\/p>\n Join top CEOs, founders and operators at the<\/i> <\/i>Level Up conference<\/i><\/a> to unlock strategies for scaling your business, boosting revenue and building sustainable success.<\/i><\/p>\n Related:<\/b> In-N-Out Burger Is Moving East.
