What States Have In-N-Out? Every State With a Location (2026)
Quick answer
- In-N-Out has restaurants in California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Colorado and Idaho.
- It is expanding east into Tennessee.
- Most locations are in California, where the chain started in 1948.
- In-N-Out does not franchise, so every restaurant is company-owned.
In-N-Out Burger has a huge fan base, but it is only found in part of the country. The chain grows slowly on purpose, because it wants every restaurant within reach of its own meat plants and distribution centers so the beef stays fresh and never frozen. Here is where you can find it.

Why In-N-Out is not everywhere
- The company owns every restaurant and does not sell franchises.
- Fresh patties are made at company facilities, so stores must be within a set driving distance.
- The family-owned chain prefers slow, careful growth over fast expansion.
