In-N-Out owner Lynsi Snyder says she is leaving California
Briefly

In-N-Out Burger is shifting its corporate operations from California to Tennessee, with plans to set up an office in Franklin by 2026. CEO Lynsi Snyder emphasized the difficulties of raising a family and doing business in California, especially in light of pandemic-era restrictions. The company has operated over 400 locations across eight states, valuing its image as a sought-after brand. The decision aligns with a broader trend of businesses departing California due to rising operational costs and regulatory challenges.
"There's a lot of great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here. Doing business is not easy here," Snyder said during a recent appearance on the 'Relatable' podcast.
In-N-Out has long thrived on being the burger chain you couldn't find everywhere. 'I like that we're sought after when someone's coming into town. I like that we're unique,' Snyder said.
The company announced plans to establish a corporate office in Franklin, Tenn., by 2026, marking a significant shift in their operations.
The migration reflects a broader corporate exodus from California, with businesses and billionaires leaving due to regulatory challenges and operational costs.
