If you live in California, the burger gods are looking out for you. In-N-Out just confirmed that four new locations are "opening soon," and the expansion is honestly major. Three of these new spots are dropping in Southern California, while the fourth is heading to the Central Valley.
Here’s where to keep an eye out:
- Chino: 8245 Pine Ave.
- Commerce: 6233 Telegraph Ave.
- South El Monte: 1221 Santa Anita Ave.
- Stockton: 10537 Trinity Pkwy.
While the company hasn't dropped the exact grand opening dates yet, construction in Stockton is already moving, and the vibe is that they’ll be slinging Animal Style fries before the year is out.
The bag alert
Real talk: if you’re looking for a side hustle or a full-time grind, In-N-Out is hiring for all four locations right now. The pay is actually competitive for fast food—starting at $22 an hour and going up to $26.25 depending on the role. If you move up the ladder, the manager pay is highkey impressive, averaging $200,000 a year.
This expansion adds to their current empire of over 400 restaurants. They’re also looking to expand into New Mexico next year, which is a total W for their national footprint. Meanwhile, they're not slowing down in LA either, having recently filed permits to demolish buildings in Rancho Park for a new drive-thru location—even if it means a total clash with the local competition.
Why it matters
Beyond just getting your Double-Double fix, this expansion shows In-N-Out is doubling down on its home state despite massive industry shifts. Whether you’re trying to grab a meal or secure a bag, these new locations are keeping the brand’s momentum at an all-time high.
