In-N-Out Just Revealed 4 Locations ‘Opening Soon’ — Is One Near You?

In-N-Out Burger is continuing its U.S. expansion, with four restaurants listed as “Opening Soon” after the chain opened its newest location in St. George, Utah, on Friday, August 14.

The next restaurants are planned for Commerce, Irvine and Stockton in California, plus San Tan Valley, Arizona. The addresses are confirmed, although individual grand-opening dates have not yet been announced.

The expansion matters beyond these four communities. In-N-Out has been adding restaurants across several states while maintaining the company-owned, fresh-food model that has historically kept its growth slower than many national fast-food competitors.

Where are the 4 new In-N-Out locations?

Customers can check In-N-Out’s official Grand Openings page for updates. Commerce, San Tan Valley and Stockton were previously expected to open later in 2026, but customers should wait for company announcements before treating any specific date as confirmed.

St. George opened on August 14

The newest In-N-Out is at 4643 S. Pioneer Road in St. George, Utah. It is the chain’s 15th Utah restaurant and its second in southwestern Utah.

The restaurant has 84 indoor seats and 76 covered patio seats, accommodating 160 guests, along with one drive-thru lane. It opened with about 40 employees, and hiring is continuing. Starting pay is $17.50 an hour.

The restaurant opens at 10:30 a.m. daily and closes at 1 a.m., extending to 1:30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

St. George is also the first In-N-Out opening since the fatal August 1 shooting near the recently opened Twin Falls, Idaho, restaurant. Three people were killed in the shooting, which occurred just over a week after that location opened on July 24.

In-N-Out has been busy expanding in 2026

St. George follows several openings this summer. In-N-Out opened a Las Vegas Strip restaurant on June 9, followed by Timnath, Colorado, on June 25, Madison, Tennessee, on July 10 and Twin Falls on July 24.

The activity comes amid wider restaurant expansion across the country. Raising Cane’s July restaurant expansion included five new locations across several states, while 7 Brew’s August expansion includes 62 new locations across 26 states.

In-N-Out takes a more measured approach. The Snyder family-owned company does not franchise its restaurants, giving it direct control over where and how new locations operate.

Why doesn’t In-N-Out expand faster?

In-N-Out’s food and distribution system helps explain its cautious growth. The company says its hamburger patties are produced from American beef, delivered fresh throughout the week and never frozen. Produce is prepared at restaurants daily, and fries are cut from fresh whole potatoes.

Expanding into distant markets therefore requires more than finding restaurant sites. New locations must fit within a supply network capable of maintaining those standards.

In-N-Out now operates in California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Colorado, Idaho, Washington and Tennessee. Tennessee has been especially significant because it pushed the chain farther east and is supported by an Eastern territory office in Franklin.

Is In-N-Out coming to New Mexico or the East Coast?

New Mexico is expected to become another In-N-Out market. The company previously announced plans to enter the state by 2027.

A full East Coast expansion is far less likely. CEO Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson has indicated that the company does not intend to sacrifice its quality standards simply to expand farther or faster.

Customers should not expect expansion to bring every modern fast-food feature either. Snyder-Ellingson has also pushed back on conventional online ordering and pickup, suggesting In-N-Out intends to preserve much of its traditional restaurant experience.

What customers should know about “Opening Soon”

For residents near Commerce, Irvine, Stockton and San Tan Valley, “Opening Soon” confirms that the restaurants are in In-N-Out’s pipeline, but it does not provide a guaranteed opening day.

Construction, inspections, staffing, training and final preparations can influence restaurant timelines. Customers planning an opening-day visit should therefore rely on official company updates rather than dates circulating through unofficial listings or social media.

Three of the four upcoming restaurants are in California, while the fourth strengthens In-N-Out’s existing Arizona footprint. That shows the immediate expansion remains focused largely on established territory, even as recent openings in Tennessee, Idaho, Colorado and Utah gradually push the chain into a broader U.S. market.
