In-N-Out IS coming to Texas

By Laurie | November 18, 2009

In-N-Out is coming to Texas. This is the moment I have been dreaming of FOREVER. Sort of. Actually I have dreamed of owning my own In-N-Out Dallas franchise since I was probably 20 (they don’t do franchises by the way), but since they are family run and owned and blah blah blah that will never ever happen. But heck, I will be happy to go and gain 100 pounds eat a Double Double and drink pink lemonade 7 days once a week month.

Yay! Yay! Yay! I am from California, and am known for being obsessive about In-N-Out. If I travel anywhere that has one, I have to go at least twice before heading home. This is seriously one of the most exciting pieces of news ever. You know that I love Oprah (and was glad to see her at the State Fair of Texas), but I am even more excited about this. Sorry, Oprah.

I can’t find information about this Dallas location anywhere on the Internet (trust me, I tried!) There has been speculation for years. Rumors seem to be circulating a lot more frequently these days though. It’s always been something people talk about; kind of like Disney building a theme park here (which has also been a rumor since I was in high school).

However, I have it on semi good authority this time that the In-N-Out Texas rumor is true. I met someone (I am not disclosing who or where) who knows the person who says he was hired to be the manager. From what I was told, it will be built in Plano, Texas (the next town over from me for those of you not in the area). I don’t know exactly where, but it sounds legit. And soon. The world is it will be off of HWY 75. (edit: the latest is that the possible first location will be where the Krispy Kreme recently vacated. next to Cheddar’s across from the Villiage at Fairview. I also recently heard that the distribution center is rumored to be built in Anna.)

I know it’s a case of someone who knows someone, but I am holding onto this. I think it’s true. Updates to come once ground breaks. I’m off to do a happy dance, mouth watering and all.

I know there are a lot of doubters out there, and In-N-Out folks will be denying it until the cows come home. Literally. I really think it’s going to be a reality by next year.

  3. So the real question is WHERE it will be coming in Texas… they could always put it in Amarillo next to the giant steak (which is free if you eat it in an hour) place… which wouldn’t be useful. A few locations in the D/FW area would be nice :)

  4. Jason – The first one will be in Plano from what I heard. I assume once there is one, more will appear… but I’m not sure.

    Pinkberry just opened last week, and I know they have plans for three more in the area already.

  5. IN-N-OUT has no plans to add any states at this time. While Texas has been reviewed for possible expansion, there are no official plans to add the market yet. There are many issues keeping the expansion from happening at this time, from legal copyright issues, to distribution & food source issues. (We only get our meat from 1 place & we never freeze anything). So while Texas may happen someday, I am sorry to say that this is still just a unfounded rumor.

  7. Sarita- Thanks for coming by! My family is from Baldwin Park! I hope the training is going well. Come back and see what the In-N-Out folks on Twitter left in a comment. They are still saying that it’s not happening. Hopefully it will if you have plans to move out here!

  12. [...] franchise opportunities I knew would never happen. I even “outed” their plans to open a Texas location over six months before it was officially announced. That’s how much on-the-pulse I am! [...]
