In-N-Out Opening New Location Near SDSU

In-N-Out , the beloved burger chain that originated in Southern California, is getting ready to open another location in San Diego at 6405 El Cajon Boulevard .

The company’s new location is expected to open in the former home of Rite-Aid, next to the Seminole Drive Church of Christ, according to a notice of application first reported by SanDiegoVille . The notice shows plans to build a new, 3,886 square-foot restaurant with 82 parking spaces on a 2.19-acre lot. The company’s newest location is expected to open early next year , featuring a simplistic menu and its famous crossed palm trees in the front of the restaurant.

Last year, In-N-Out celebrated its 75th anniversary and opened its 400th location in late 2023. This is an impressive achievement for the company, considering there are In-N-Out locations in only eight states. The company has come a long way since Harry Snyder introduced California’s first drive-thru hamburger stand in a barely 100-square-foot space in Baldwin Park. Since its inception, In-N-Out has maintained its simple yet effective menu, with only three burger options, fries, shakes, and a handful of secret menu items.

“In-N-Out celebrates three-quarters of a century with 394 restaurants open throughout California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Texas, Oregon, and Colorado,” according to the company’s website. “In its 75th year, the In-N-Out Burger family reaches over 38,000 dedicated Associates. The family-owned company carries the founding philosophy forward with a rigorous commitment to quality and freshness.”
