In-N-Out Burger hopes to expand to Washington state, the company told USA TODAY on Friday.
Although In-N-Out has been in Oregon for almost 10 years, it only expanded to Idaho in December, USA TODAY previously reported.
The company submitted a development application for a Washington location shortly after, Mike Abbate, vice president of store development at In-N-Out, told USA TODAY. “However, the development process is still very early.”
The target city for the new site is Ridgefield, just north of Vancouver in Clark County. Construction will take eight to nine months once a building permit is obtained, Abbate said. An opening date has not been announced.
The company is “hopeful of a positive outcome,” Abbate said, as it works with the city on obtaining permits and approvals.
City comments on In-N-Out coming to town
Ridgefield is “working closely with In-N-Out to ensure that they are not only creating enough queuing spaces to avoid traffic jams on the roads, but also that the building design is unique, high-quality and complementary to Ridgefield,” he said. the city manager. Steve Stuart told KOIN-TV.
In-N-Out’s attempt to move to the Portland area was rejected in 2022, the outlet reported. The company has filed an appeal.
