When you've lost the fast-food industry....
In-N-Out headquarter bails on California, saying it's too hard to do business here. Outkick has the details from the fast-food leader’s president. {And hey, maybe local legislators should read this useful playbook for how to attract/retain companies to Silicon Valley.}
The latest frustrated Californian to decide to up and go is In-N-Out owner and President Lynsi Snyder, who said that the state just can't cut it anymore.
"There's a lot of great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here," Snyder said during a recent appearance on the Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey podcast.
Only it's not just Snyder's family that will be moving to Franklin, Tennessee, but also a significant portion of the company, as they plan to open a new office as they expand eastward.
"Doing business is not easy here now," the granddaughter of In-N-Out founders Harry and Esther Snyder continued.
"It will be wonderful having an office out there, growing out there… being able to have a family out there, and move people's families out there." The 100,000-square-foot office building began being developed at the end of 2024 as Snyder said that corporate workers will either be transferred to the In-N-Out Baldwin Park office, located outside of Los Angeles, or eventually to the new Tennessee headquarters, according to WKRN.
The historic move will mark the first time the company's HQ is not solely located in California since its inception in 1948.
