Although not even close to a Fortune 500 company In-N-Out Burger is moving its HQ out of Cali. This is way more significant than most California fans will admit as In-N-Out moving out of California is the Equivalent of Whataburger’s HQ moving out of Texas.
In-N-Out is so Iconically Californian (though it does have restaurants in other states). However, the most disturbing part of this change is Lynsi Snyder the owner making the statement that Cali is not a great place to raise kids or doing business.
It’s important to note overall the company’s worth and growth have expanded under her leadership and she even cracked the Forbes 400 wealthiest individuals in America and was the youngest Female billionaire in 2012.
This woman is a financial HAWK and most experts expect her to expand the business even more.
The move is expected to lose California about 500 jobs (mostly administrative positions, HR, Advertising and Customer Service positions) while adding an equal amount or more to Tennessee. That’s for the HQ alone. Snyder also plans to consolidate all non-restaurant based jobs in California into one location in Baldwin Park possibly costing thousands more jobs.
