ST. LOUIS — Fans of In-N-Out Burger won’t be able to enjoy the company’s food in the Show-Me State anytime soon.
“I am able to confirm that we do not have current plans to open restaurants in Missouri,” Chief Operating Officer Denny Warnick said in a statement to the Business Journal.
Once only a California delicacy, In-N-Out has expanded in recent years, opening locations in Nevada, Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, Texas and — coming in 2026 — Tennessee.
The stretch into the middle of the country isn't expected to be the end of the Baldwin Park, California-based fast-food chain's expansion.
In-N-Out was founded in 1948 in Baldwin Park, a suburb of Los Angeles, and has grown to 385 locations. By limiting itself largely to California, its exclusivity has helped increase its notoriety, making it a mainstay of pop culture, particularly known for its long drive-thru lines and simplistic menu.
