In-N-Out Burger was founded in 1948 by Harry and Esther Snyder in Baldwin Park, California, with a simple concept of high-quality, fresh burgers and a drive-thru service. The chain quickly gained popularity for its commitment to quality and its simple menu. After Rich Snyder took over in 1961, In-N-Out expanded steadily while maintaining its focus on freshness and customer satisfaction. Known for its secret menu and strong family-owned values, In-N-Out has built a loyal following and a solid reputation in the fast-food industry.Â
