In-N-Out Burger is an American regional chain of fast food restaurants with locations primarily in California and the Southwest.[5] It was founded in Baldwin Park, California, in 1948 by Harry (1913–1976) and Esther Snyder (1920–2006). The chain is currently headquartered in Irvine, California and has expanded outside Southern California into the rest of California, as well as into Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Texas, Oregon, and Colorado, and is planning an expansion into Idaho. The current owner is Lynsi Snyder, the Snyders' only grandchild.

    On my mother’s deathbed she asked for In-N-Out. It was the only thing she’d eat. It was her last meal, before she passed.

    I am a Socal native. As a teenager they gave out bumper stickers that said "In and Out Burger". We would blank out the letters B and R. Haha, stupid kids! Yet clever.😂 I live in Corona now and there is one only 2 miles away. Im a senior now. I remember when the owner of the company died in plane crash in OC. It was on a Southwest Airline from Fresno to OC. Chick-fil-A has adopted the super clean workplace, excellent employee's, limited menu and a conservative attitude. In N Out still has Bible verses on most paper and cups. I worked for a company that hired the "In N Out" food truck for the employees, all paid for. What a fantastic place to work.

    I remember we had an In N Out on the western edge of Corona back in the 1980s. One of my friends worked there. It was a bit too far for us to travel to from the HS to get lunch and make it back in time, but on a rare occasion the family would pick up burgers to eat. Still have memories of doctored In N Out Burger bumper stickers plastered in lockers (yes we had them back then) in highschool. They were trimmed to read "In N Out Urge" LOL

    I grew up down the street from this place i remember when it just used to be in n out burger 🍔 ,birds love us bird store, and a liquor store nothing but dirt lot In the background.. few years passed they built the target office max and all that. Man a lot has changed around that area
  • The location of the first in n out is the location of a rather large multi block complex that houses their entire distribution center, fleet, fuel islands and the In-n-out university. They have expanded further north and east but can only go so far. I emailed them asking to bring one to where i used to live and the CEO herself responded to myemail with a detailed reason why they cannot. Everything is fresh, and comes from that DC in Baldwin Park CA. If it cant be delivered by truck and maintain a shelf life long enough to sell before it goes bad, then its too far to open. Wasnt even mad, i appreciate their commitment to quality which is why such a small localized chain, with a tiny menu, is literally famous worldwide. Getting an actually personalized response, addressing my request with a reason why, was also very nice. I expected an auto/computer reply.

    Harry Snyder was ironically born the same year as Whataburger founder Harmon Dobson. Richard also tragically died the same way as Dobson: Dobson was killed in a Plane Crash in 1967.

    I like how they have a retro look and still looks like a 1940-50s diner and their low prices.
  • Thanks for coming to Texas! In-N-Out recently opened a restaurant in Webster Texas. It’s just five minutes from my house. I eat there every Friday for lunch. A double double and a strawberry shake. Love it!!

    I grew up in Baldwin park and in grade school they would take us for field trips to in n out university we learned everything about in n out and they had us all cut our own fries with the potato press. I remember eating those fries it was so good. I hope they continue doing that with schools. They basically trained us to work their since we were kids 😂

    I would have challenge you on your history. The second In-N-Out was not Covina, but on San Bernardino Rd. In Baldwin Park. It has since been torn down and a new one built about a quarter of a mile up the street but on the opposite side. I was born and raised in Baldwin Park, born 1943.
