In-N-Out’s Billionaire Heiress Is Quitting California

One thing I miss about California is In-N-Out Burger (Original Tommy's is another). Fortunately, plans are underway to open In-N-Out restaurants in the Albuquerque area.

In-N-Out CEO Lynsi Snyder is leaving Commiefornia for redder pastures, namely, Tennessee.

Fortune reported:

Lynsi Snyder is a born and bred Californian, and makes no secret of her love for the state where her grandparents founded cult burger empire In-N-Out. But the CEO revealed she is leaving the Golden State for Tennessee, where the company is building a new eastern territory office, teasing a potential push to expand even further across the U.S.

Snyder took over the West Coast chain at the age of 27, following in the footsteps of her grandfather, father and uncle who led the business prior to her succession.

Having grown up in Northern California, Snyder recounted in a recent episode of the ‘Relatable’ podcast how she worked her way up the ranks of the business, from toiling away in stores to helping her grandmother with community work, to running the business’s merchandising branch.

Now at the helm of the business with a net worth of $7.3 billion, Snyder is expanding In-N-Out into new pastures and wants her family to benefit from the change too.

“There’s a lot of great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here. Doing business is not easy here. The bulk of our stores are still going to be here in California, but it will be wonderful having an office … growing out there.”

You can thank the Democrat Party in Commiefornia for the exodus of businesses and people fleeing the state. I left before it really started getting bad there.

In-N-Out Coming To New Mexico

There's good news on the fast-food horizon.

In-N-Out Burger has announced that they will be expanding into New Mexico.

From the Orange County Register:

In-N-Out Burger has added the state of New Mexico to its list of conquests.

The Irvine-based fast food chain announced in social media Tuesday morning that it is planning a restaurant in Albuquerque and will be “fully in the Four Corners” by 2027. A Facebook meme features a signature of owner and president Lynsi Snyder.

Much as I would like to see them to open in Gallup, Albuquerque is just fine with me. The only decent burger around here is Big Ass Burgers in Thoreau.

The last In-N-Out Burger I went to was in April in Tucson, Arizona.

Now, if we can only get Original Tommy's (for chili burgers) to open in New Mexico, I'd be in food heaven. In-N-Out and Tommy's are the only two places in California I miss.
