In-N-Out Burger Opens First Washington Location In Ridgefield
IRVINE, CA – In 1948, Harry and Esther Snyder opened In-N-Out Burger, California’s first “drive-thru” hamburger stand. Today, hamburgers are still made-to-order, shakes are still made with real ice cream, and In-N-Out Associates are still treated like family. Beginning August 20, 2025, In-N-Out hamburgers, fries, and shakes will be served in Washington as the first location opens in Ridgefield.
As with all locations, fresh ingredients will be supplied to the store from In-N-Out. Hamburger patties are made from 100% American beef, and whole chucks are boned and ground by In-N-Out’s own butchers. All patties are produced and delivered fresh throughout the week to the stores and are never frozen. Fresh whole produce is prepared daily by Associates at every restaurant, and French fries are hand-diced from fresh whole potatoes.
Clint Ford, a 26-year veteran of In-N-Out, will manage the Ridgefield restaurant at 5801 N. Pioneer Canyon Drive. The restaurant will employ approximately 80 In-N-Out Burger Associates upon opening, with a starting wage of $18.75 per hour.
There will be one drive-thru lane, indoor seating for 73 guests, and a covered patio with outdoor seating for 28 guests. All In-N-Out Burger locations are open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. and until 1:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
In-N-Out currently has locations throughout California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Colorado, and Idaho. In-N-Out was founded by Harry and Esther Snyder and is still owned and operated by the Snyder family. None of the units are franchised.
The corporate offices are located at 4199 Campus Drive, Suite 900, Irvine, CA, 92612.
