In-N-Out Burger will be departing its Orange County headquarters to return to its roots in the San Gabriel Valley and build a new future in Tennessee.
The fast food chain will leave its Irvine offices at 4199 Campus Drive and consolidate in Baldwin Park by the end of 2029, according to a news release dated Feb. 10.
Baldwin Park is where the chain was founded in 1948, and it will become In-N-Out’s headquarters in “western territory.” In-N-Out is building an “eastern territory office” near Nashville and is expected begin opening restaurants in the state by the end of this year.
Some of In-N-Out’s staff will be relocating to Tennessee, owner and president Lynsi Snyder said in the news release. She is the grandaughter of founders Harry and Esther Snyder. The company is family owned.
“Some of our Associates will be relocating to Tennessee, which makes it even more important to centralize our western headquarters in one location, and our company’s deepest roots are in Baldwin Park,” Snyder said in the news release. “Our West Coast family will be together in one place, where In-N-Out Burger began.”
News media in Tennessee were abuzz with In-N-Out coverage over the weekend after Snyder spoke at a business breakfast presented by Lipscomb University, a faith-based institution in Nashville, on Feb. 4. Some outlets predicted the chain could open as many 35 restaurants in the state.
