## Key points

- Three more states could eventually get In-N-Out restaurants.
- Snyder says expansion will be guided by quality and company values.
- New Mexico is due to become the chain’s 11th state in 2027.

## Summary

In-N-Out chief executive Lynsi Snyder has named Arkansas, Mississippi and Oklahoma as possible future expansion states, while stressing that the chain will grow cautiously. She said protecting food quality, service and the company’s values matters more than opening restaurants quickly, and that limited availability is part of the brand’s appeal.

The chain opened in 1948 and now has 299 locations in California. It opened its first Washington restaurant in August 2025 and expanded into Tennessee last year, where five stores are operating and a sixth is planned. New Mexico is due to become its 11th state in 2027; Snyder said the company remains committed to its Southern California roots.
