In recent months, the rumor mill has been grinding out juicy gossip that In-N-Out Burger will expand its empire into Texas. Looks like those rumors were well-founded.
Last week, Nancy Luna of the Orange County Register reported that she received confirmation that Southern California’s most beloved burger chain is indeed seeking approval to open fast-food units in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.
‘Yes, we are working on a few locations in the Dallas/Ft. Worth market and Garland is one of them,’ In-N-Out executive Carl Van Fleet told Luna, referring to the Dallas suburb. ‘While we are very enthusiastic about the opportunities there, our Dallas area plans are still in the early stages.’ Van Fleet, vice president of planning and development at In-N-Out, said the 1,500-mile move to Texas will force the chain to build a ‘new patty production facility and distribution center.’
