News Elsewhere: In-N-Out Burger Moves East, But Not Far Enough

A chain of fast-food burger places that has only had locations in the southwestern part of the United States is opening its first restaurant outside of the area, though it will be nowhere near the Boston area or New England.

According to the SideDish section of Dallas-based D Magazine, In-N-Out Burger will be opening in Firewheel Town Center in Garland, which is a city just northeast of Dallas. Until now, the restaurant chain has limited its locations to California (where it is based), Arizona, Nevada, and Utah, with the most restaurants in California (about 200).

For years, rumors have been circulating about In-N-Out Burger coming to the Northeast, but nothing has ever been substantiated. This does appear to be a big step in the expansion of the chain to other parts of the country, however, so stay tuned....
