In-N-Out of here! Billionaire In-N-Out Burger heiress Lynsi Snyder has revealed that she is relocating her family from California to Tennessee, months after the popular burger chain broke ground in its eastern expansion. 'There's a lot of great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here,' Snyder shared on Allie Beth Stuckey's 'Relatable' podcast. 'Doing business is not easy here.'

'My uncle opened the office in Irvine … in the '90s,' Snyder said. 'When my dad came down to run the business, we had moved to northern California. It was family over fighting with his brother and running the company. 'So when he came down and saw Irvine and all of that, [he] was just like, 'This is not us. This is not our roots, this is not my dad,' and he wanted to move everyone back to Baldwin Park. So he kind of did a hybrid. He moved a lot of people back to Baldwin Park but Irvine continued on and continued to grow and my dad died a handful of years later.'

In-N-Out Burger Snyder claimed that corporate workers will either be transferred to their Baldwin Park office, located just outside of Los Angeles, or to the new Tennessee headquarters. The company that founded California's first 'drive-thru' hamburger stand broke ground on a new 100,000-square-foot office building in Franklin in September 2024, according to News 2.

Snyder confessed that she's rejected invitations to open In-N-Out locations in Florida and in various states on the East Coast, but she hinted that it could expand into other places. 'We're able to reach Tennessee from our Texas warehouse,' Snyder said. 'So we're not putting our meat facility, where we do all of our beef and send it to our stores [to] make patties, we're not going to have that there. We'll have a warehouse, but not do our own meat there, so we'll be able to deliver from Texas. So Texas can reach some other states.' The burger leader didn't elaborate on which states the company could enter next but she didn't hold back the company's struggles with the state of California. 4 The fast food chain plans to open its first Tennessee restaurants by 2026. In-N-Out Burger Snyder shared grievances ranging from crime to the San Francisco Department of Public Health's requirement to make restaurants check customers' vaccine cards during the Coronavirus pandemic. 'There were so many pressures and just hoops we were having to jump through,' Snyder said. Advertisement 'You've got to do this, you have to wear a mask, you gotta put this plastic thing up between us and our customers and it was really terrible you know. And I look back and I'm like, 'Man, maybe we should have just pushed [back] even harder on some of that stuff and dealt with all of the legal backlash.'' In-N-Out's refusal to check vaccine cards shut down stores in San Francisco for a 'brief moment, but it's worth it,' Snyder added. Snyder also closed a store in Oakland because it was in an 'absolutely dangerous' area. 'There was actually — gunshots went through the store, there was a stabbing, there was a lot,' Snyder shared during an interview with PragerU.

Will Middle Tennessee's soggy summer make for vibrant fall foliage?
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — This summer has been abnormally wet, with Nashville experiencing one of the wettest first halves of a year on record. Autumn is still a couple of months away, but how is Middle Tennessee's wet summer going to impact our fall foliage? 📧 Have breaking news come to you: → spoke with Peter Forister, who is the media manager for Explore Fall. Explore Fall predicts the timing of when fall foliage will peak across the United States. According to Forister, last year's fall colors were not great. He said the drought conditions in late summer and early fall were the main cause for the muted colors. One year ago, much of Middle Tennessee was experiencing drought, and it only worsened in August. This year, there are no areas experiencing drought conditions. Forister said we typically see peak fall colors in mid to late October, and in order to get the brightest colors, there will need to be less rainfall. 'Really, the best thing for the vibrant colors is an average amount of moisture and then a cold snap that happens right on time, mid-October, and that really just pushes the trees into the mode very quickly,' Forister told News 2. ⏩ Forister said if we continue to see above-average rainfall, peak fall colors will be delayed and muted. He said we could also see muted colors if we experience drought between now and mid-October. Last year, despite the drought conditions, there were still spots with great color.
