Family-owned fast food chain founded in 1948, serving fresh made-to-order hamburgers from 100% USDA ground chuck across eight US states.
In-N-Out Burger is a privately held fast food chain, founded in 1948 in Baldwin Park, California, by Harry and Esther Snyder. The company remains family-owned and operated and is led by the founders' granddaughter, Lynsi Snyder, as owner and president. Its core product is the made-to-order hamburger: patties are prepared one at a time from 100% USDA ground chuck, with no frozen patties used at any point.
The chain operates across eight states - California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Colorado and Idaho - spanning the quick-service restaurant and food-and-beverage sectors. Despite this growth, the company reports maintaining the same simple, consistent operating philosophy established at its founding.
Operational standards emphasise quality of product, cleanliness of the restaurant environment, and warm, friendly service delivered by well-trained associates. The company describes its workplace as team-oriented and fast-paced, built on a foundation of genuine hospitality and a commitment to serving only the highest quality product.
