In-N-Out Burger backs away from Mt. Juliet location. Will they look elsewhere in city?
In-N-Out is expanding with a number of future restaurants planned for Middle Tennessee to coincide with an eastern territory office in Franklin.
Mt. Juliet had approved a design waiver as part of the approval process for a future In-N-Out restaurant to be built on the northeast corner of Golden Bear Gateway and Old Beckwith Road.
However, In-N-Out is no longer considering that spot, Mt. Juliet Director of Development Services Jennifer Hamblen said.
"While that specific location is no longer moving forward, we remain hopeful that they will identify another location within Mt. Juliet that better aligns with their needs," Hamblen said. ""Our team is fully committed to assisting them in finding a successful path forward here."
Efforts to reach property owners or In-N-Out representatives for comment were unsuccessful.
In-N-Out Burger owner Lynsi Snyder in 2023 announced her company would open a $125 million corporate hub in Franklin. She recently told podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey she plans to move from California to Tennessee as well.
In-N-Out is also building a restaurant in Lebanon on South Hartmann Drive that city Mayor Rick Bell said is nearing completion. Lebanon and Mt. Juliet are neighbors, both in Wilson County.
"We don't have a date yet on when they will be open," Lebanon Economic Development Director Sarah Haston said. "We are anxiously awaiting for them to provide us with one. As you can see they are moving right along."
The hub in Franklin will include an onsite restaurant. Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, Antioch and Madison are among other locations In-N-Out has moved forward on.

Air India to suspend services to Washington from September
Air India to suspend services to Washington from September (Reuters) -Air India said on Monday it would stop services between the capital cities of India and the U.S. from September 1, citing aircraft shortage due to the planned upgrades to its ageing Boeing planes and the closure of Pakistan's airspace. The suspension of services between New Delhi and Washington, D.C., marks the latest setback for Air India, which is facing heightened regulatory scrutiny after a June crash in Ahmedabad killed 260 people. The planned shortfall in Air India's fleet and continued closure of airspace over Pakistan have impacted the airline's long-haul operations, leading to longer flight routings and increased operational complexity, the carrier said. Air India sees the Pakistan airspace ban costing it $600 million over 12 months, Reuters had earlier reported. India and Pakistan closed their respective airspaces to each other days after relations between the arch-rivals nosedived following a fatal attack on civilians in Indian Kashmir, which also sparked the worst fighting between the neighbours in decades. New Delhi has blamed Islamabad for the attack, accusations which Islamabad has denied. Air India said its flyers will have options to choose flights to Washington, D.C., with layovers at New York, Newark, Chicago and San Francisco with the airline's interline partners Alaska Airlines, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines.

Smotrich confirms plan to allocate funds toward emergency Gaza aid efforts, shifting gears
"Right now, the funding is international, but if necessary, we'll do it ourselves," Somtrich said. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich confirmed his plans to allocate funds toward humanitarian aid efforts in Gaza on Wednesday evening, stating that doing so was solely for the purpose of "victory" in the war. 'I'm not interested in the Gazans," Smotrich told The Jerusalem Post in response to a Tuesday Kan report, stating he had been promoting the transfer of billions of additional shekels from the state budget for aid to the civilian population in Gaza. "What interests me is victory and the complete destruction of Hamas," Smotrich said. "Right now, the funding is international, but if necessary, we'll do it ourselves," Somtrich explained regarding the humanitarian aid. By having the ability to fund aid efforts on its own, Israel could potentially carry on with Gaza operations for longer, amid international pressure. "The whole world is pressuring us: Europe is pushing us to stop [military operations in the Strip], Hamas wants us to stop, and so does the Israeli Left — but I'm doing everything I can to ensure we continue until total defeat," Smotrich continued. "The war is already costing NIS 300 billion," Smotrich said. "I'm now legislating a special defense fund to address the front against Iran, but I also want to include a dedicated budget that will allow us to establish logistical centers and, if needed, fund the aid to the population ourselves instead of continuing to send trucks to Hamas," he added. Upcoming cabinet meeting to determine future The Kan report stated that it is not yet clear whether the money is intended for the establishment of a "humanitarian city" or for the humanitarian aid mechanism. Such a clarification would depend on Israel's upcoming Thursday cabinet meeting regarding the continuation of activity in Gaza. According to estimates, some of the money will come from budget cuts to government ministries, the Kan report noted. "I hope that tomorrow a clear decision will finally be made to go all-in onGaza — to conquer it entirely and defeat Hamas militarily," Smotrich said in his Wednesday statement. "Without civilian and economic strangulation, there is no chance of winning. This is the way to bring the hostages home. This is the path to victory," Smotrich concluded. Solve the daily Crossword
