The 44-year-old president and owner of the burger chain \u2013 the granddaughter of founders Esther and Harry Snyder \u2013 recently spoke with actor Terry Crews to commemorate the fast food chain\u2019s 78th anniversary, with the first restaurant opening in Baldwin Park, California on October 22, 1948.

Snyder moved her family to Tennessee last year to start the chain\u2019s eastward growth, though there are four states she is eyeing for further expansion. IN-N-OUT<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you look at the map, you\u2019ve got Texas. There\u2019s Arkansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma. There are some states that are possibilities,\u201d Snyder explained. <\/p>\n
She added, \u201cNew Mexico has been waiting for us, and that will be soon,\u201d referring to a November 2023 Instagram announcement that they will open an Albuquerque restaurant by 2027.<\/p>\n
The chain \u2013 which has remained private and family-owned since its inception, without turning to franchising \u2013 operates 445 restaurants in 10 states, with Snyder adding there are many states who request the chain to expand there.<\/p>\n

\u201cThough I think there\u2019s a lot of states that really want us there, it\u2019s not really in the works and not planned,\u201d she said. \u201cI feel like there\u2019s a special piece knowing that In-N-Out isn\u2019t everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
Still, while expansion out of the chain\u2019s home state of California is happening, she insists the company\u2019s expansion is not exactly her top priority, adding she wants to, \u201cmake sure that everything is right\u201d before each new restaurant opens.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe goal is that the surroundings and the landscape and the weather and all of those things might be different, but we hope that In-N-Out stays the same,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Snyder also denied that the company is, \u201cgrowing like crazy,\u201d adding, \u201cWe have a very steady growth rate, and it\u2019s not really going up. In fact, sometimes we don\u2019t hit that.\u201d Jonathan Alcorn for CA Post<\/p>\n

She insisted that the company leaving the state of California fully would be, \u201cthe dumbest business decision ever.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is where we started, where we are and where we will always be,\u201d Snyder said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe continue to grow in California and we have lots of stores slotted for future cities in California.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Snyder revealed that her company will never offer mobile ordering, despite many of her competitors doing so.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have for sure had that put in front of us, and the answer is no,\u201d Snyder-Ellingson said during a talk at Pepperdine University in Malibu back in April.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main reason is part of what makes In-N-Out and the experience so special is the interaction and the customer service that we\u2019re able to give, the smile, the greeting.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJust that warmth and feeling the culture. And so, the mobile ordering will definitely take a piece of that away and there\u2019s also the freshness factor.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
