Blue State Blues: In & Out Burger Restaurant a Casualty of Prosecutor’s Failures
14th May 2024
The In-N-Out Burger chain was begun in California in 1948 in the Baldwin Park area of Los Angeles and has expanded to more than 400 eateries in eight states and 287 cities. Until March 24, the company had never closed a restaurant.
However, on that day, the location in East Oakland shuttered because of “ongoing issues with crime,” according to Denny Warnick, the chief operating officer of In-N-Out.
Employees at the now-closed burger joint had to deal with “car break-ins, property damage, and armed robberies.”
