Tennessee
In-N-Out Burger has acquired a warehouse in Tennessee for $30.15 million, marking a significant step in its regional expansion. The newly purchased warehouse, situated in Wilson County’s Speedway Industrial Park, spans approximately 154,000 square feet and occupies 19 acres at 1280 Richard Petty Way. Confirmation of the purchase was made by company officials on October 1.
The warehouse is intended to serve as a “regional hub” and distribution center, facilitating the company’s planned growth of restaurants in the surrounding area. Currently based in California, In-N-Out operates a primary distribution center at 13502 Hamburger Lane in Baldwin Park.
Commitment to the Community
Wilson County Mayor Randall Hutto has highlighted that In-N-Out’s recent acquisition demonstrates the company’s commitment to the region. Although details regarding the number of employees expected to work at the new facility have not been disclosed, the expansion is anticipated to create numerous job opportunities in the community.
In-N-Out is concurrently constructing multiple restaurant locations throughout Tennessee, including sites in Hendersonville, Madison, Antioch, Lebanon, and Murfreesboro, all located near Nashville. Furthermore, an eastern territory operations center is being established in Franklin, a suburb of Nashville, which will also feature an onsite restaurant.
Future Plans for Tennessee
The company has plans to open a total of 35 restaurants throughout Tennessee. In recent updates on its website, In-N-Out has listed three new Middle Tennessee locations as “opening soon.” This development will effectively double the number of restaurants currently listed on In-N-Out’s “opening soon” page from three to six.
The process of developing In-N-Out locations can often be lengthy, with the company generally announcing new locations on its website once they are at or near construction. This allows the company to manage expectations about the timeline for new openings effectively.
In addition to its expansion in Tennessee, In-N-Out is making strides into the Pacific Northwest, having recently opened its first location in Washington State.
Background on In-N-Out Burger
Founded in 1948, In-N-Out Burger is known for its commitment to fresh ingredients and quality service. The company operates over 300 locations predominantly in California, with a growing presence in other states. The latest developments in Tennessee reflect the brand’s broader strategy to increase its footprint beyond its traditional markets.
This strategic acquisition in Wilson County signifies In-N-Out’s long-term commitment to not only establishing new restaurants but also enhancing their distribution capabilities to ensure effective operations as they expand their customer base across the country.
