LOS ANGELES (KTLA) – In-N-Out Burger, one of Southern California’s most popular fast-food chains, has announced plans to relocate its corporate headquarters to where the company was founded more than 75 years ago.
In a news release shared with KTLA, In-N-Out said it will move its home office from Irvine, in Orange County, to Baldwin Park in the San Gabriel Valley by 2029.
In-N-Out founder Harry Snyder opened his first burger stand at Francisquito and Garvey avenues in Baldwin Park in 1948. In 1994, the company established a corporate headquarters at 4199 Campus Drive in Irvine.
“In every decision about the future of In-N-Out Burger, I give strong consideration to what my grandparents and my family would think is best for our company,” Lynsi Snyder, granddaughter and owner of the company, said in the release. “I know my family would be in support of this move because it brings our In-N-Out family back together in a way that helps us better serve our Customers, who are the most important priority.”
Harry Snyder passed away in 1976, leaving his sons, Rich and Guy, and his widow, Esther, in charge of the company. Rich Snyder, Lynsi’s uncle, died in 1993, and Guy, her father, died in 1999. Esther passed away in 2006, paving the way for Lynsi to take over.
The fast-food giant remains privately owned.
The majority of In-N-Out’s corporate staff will either work at the new Baldwin Park office or in Franklin, Tennessee, where a new “Eastern territory” office is set to open in late 2026, the news release said. The company has announced plans to open several dozen locations in the Volunteer State in the coming years, according to Retail Wire.
“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,” said Lynsi Snyder. “Our West Coast family will be together in one place, where In-N-Out Burger began.”
As of February, In-N-Out had more than 400 restaurants in California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Oregon, Utah, Idaho, New Mexico, Texas and Washington.
