Red State

[. . .]

It’s also hard for people trying to run businesses in the state.

Lynsi Snyder has a business there. Indeed, she runs quite a famous business – she’s the president of In-N-Out Burger. She appeared on “Relatable” with Allie Beth Stuckey on Friday to talk about some of her experiences. “In-N-Out has weathered so much,” she said, saying God had had his hand on their company and explaining some of her personal evolution.

She spoke about hoops they had to go through during COVID, and that they refused to police customers over vaccine cards at that time.

Their San Francisco location was briefly closed, but she said it was “worth it.”

Reports also indicated they closed an In-N-Out in Oakland in 2024 due to an ongoing problem with crime.

She also spoke about a big move that they’re making, that they’ll be opening up an office in Franklin, Tennessee, and she’ll be moving there.

“Raising a family is not easy here,” she told Stuckey. “Doing business is not easy here.”

She said they would be closing their Irvine headquarters by 2030 and consolidating that into their headquarters in Baldwin Park, California.

The “bulk of the stores” will still be in California, she explained. But she said it will be great to grow in Tennessee and have the “family and other people’s families” out there. They’re planning on having locations for the restaurant opening in Tennessee in 2026, which will make folks in that area very happy. They’re still turning down other places like Florida so far.
