In-N-Out Sets Opening Window for Washington Location

In-N-Out Burger is expanding with construction underway for its first Washington location in Ridgefield, expected to open between mid-June and mid-July. The chain is also adding new locations in Modesto (CA), Brighton (CO), and Surprise (AZ), and aims to reach New Mexico by 2027. A new restaurant in St. George, Utah, is planned for completion in 2026. In-N-Out maintains its slow, quality-focused expansion strategy, only opening stores within a day's drive of its patty-making facilities. This approach sets it apart from other fast food chains facing closures. The current expansion occurs alongside significant growth announcements from other brands, such as Panda Express.
