For decades, In-N-Out Burger has been synonymous with California culture, serving up its iconic burgers, fries, and shakes to generations of devoted customers. However, after 30 years of operating from its headquarters in Irvine, the beloved fast-food chain is making a significant shift, marking the end of an era in the Golden State.
In-N-Out announced that it will be closing its corporate office in Irvine, where it has been based since 1994, and splitting its workforce between two locations: Baldwin Park, California, and a new office in Tennessee.
While Baldwin Park will remain a hub for corporate operations, In-N-Out is also making a notable move eastward. The company is establishing an office in Nashville, set to open in 2026. This marks a significant shift for the brand, which has long been associated with the West Coast.
The move reflects broader trends in the business world, where companies are exploring new opportunities in states with more business-friendly regulations and lower operating costs.
For many Californians, In-N-Out is more than just a fast-food chain—it’s a cultural institution.
