In-N-Out Burger, a popular fast-food chain from California, wants to open a new store in the state of Washington. They have already been in Oregon for about ten years and recently opened a store in Idaho. The company is now planning to open a store in Ridgefield, a city north of Vancouver in Washington.
This plan is still in the very early stages. Mike Abbate, who is in charge of opening new stores for In-N-Out, shared this information. He said that construction of the new store would take about eight to nine months. However, they have not announced when they will start.
Before they can begin building, they need to get permission from the city of Ridgefield. Abbate said that they are hopeful that things will turn out well.
Steve Stuart, the City Manager of Ridgefield, said they are working closely with In-N-Out. They want to make sure the new store will be designed well and be a good addition to the city.
In the past, In-N-Out tried to open a store near Portland, but their plan was not approved. They are challenging this decision.
The company also has plans to open more stores in Southern California and New Mexico. They hope to have this store in New Mexico open by 2027.
In-N-Out is famous for their tasty burgers and fries. They are looking forward to bringing their food to more people around the United States.
