Plans for Portland-area In-N-Out restaurant moving forward: What to know
PORTLAND, Ore. () – In-N-Out could add another Oregon location soon. The California-based burger chain filed for building permits on June 17 for the site located at 10565 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Highway in unincorporated Washington County. 'We are looking forward to being able to serve our customers in and around Beaverton with this upcoming location,' said Mike Abbate, vice president of store development for In-N-Out Burger. RingSide Steakhouse reveals reopening date after months-long closure Abbate said the company hasn't yet started the construction process, and does not have an estimate when work could start. Once it does, he said it usually takes about 9 months before the location will be ready and open for business. The company first filed an application for the location in 2020, but it was denied. A Washington County spokesperson said the issue was the way the site was zoned, and not because of traffic concerns. In-N-Out appealed the decision in 2022. After years of back-and-fourth, the application was approved in 2024. Old Farmer's Almanac reveals prediction for Pacific Northwest's fall season Local residents raised concerns about traffic. Rowan Krahel, who lives in the area near where the forthcoming In-N-Out will be located in Washington County, said while he's excited for a closer location, he is worried it will bring an increase in congestion. 'I mean I was excited to not have to drive 45 minutes to go to an In-N-Out but also worried that our neighborhood is going to have even more traffic than it already does,' Krahel said. 'The traffic is going to be killer and it's just another fast food restaurant.' The forthcoming In-N-Out will be located at the now-vacant Hawaiian Time restaurant building in Washington County. The commercial corridor just west of Highway 217 is already heavy with traffic and has a Chick-fil-A restaurant right next door. Jeff Murray, a neighbor, said he hopes the new In-N-Out will help clean up the area. 'I know In-N-Out brings a lot of people, but hey, I'm for it,' Murray said. Earlier this year, In-N-Out also began the permit process for a vacant lot at the intersection of Northeast Airport Way and Holman Street in Portland, which would be the city's first In-N-Out location. The company has also filed for permits for the former Shari's location in Gresham's Oregon Trail Shopping Center. Stay with KOIN 6 News as this story develops. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Man Floored by What In-N-Out Employees Do in Drive-Thru Line: 'Really Weird'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A man visiting an In-N-Out Burger drive-thru got more than he bargained for when an employee prayed for him and was told by another that "Jesus loves [him]". The original poster (OP) recounted her husband's story on Reddit, explaining that one of the employees at the restaurant in Carmel Mountain Ranch, California, had taken his order—and then prayed for him. Confused, he then went to the next window to pay and was asked by a different employee, "Did anyone tell you yet today that Jesus loves you?"

Photo by"I realize In-N-Out is a Christian-owned company with Bible verses on their stuff, but in all my years of being alive, I have NEVER seen that, or heard of that happening before," the OP noted. "No hate to Christians or people just trying to do something nice, but... wtf?" She continued, "I'm sure this is just the actions of the individual employees and not mandated by In-N-Out. I'm just saying it's weird." Reddit Reacts More than 3,100 Reddit users took to the comments to weigh in, and many were as puzzled as the OP. One wrote, "That's really weird. I've never experienced that in my 35 years. I wonder if it's new?" Another added, "With how long the wait time is in the drive-thru, that's ridiculous." "There are a few at the Carmel Mtn location that do that," one Redditor pointed out. "Even if you're a religious person, it's awkward and inappropriate to do to people in a drive-thru line." 'Cringey and awkward' In a message to Newsweek, the OP said she didn't mean to stir up controversy or "put religion down". "I was simply curious if anyone else had ever experienced something like that there," she explained. "I know In-N-Out is a Christian company and they include Bible verses on their packaging, which has never bothered me. "What surprised me was how much attention the post got. A lot of people agreed with me, but I also got a lot of trolling for even mentioning anything." She added that her husband described the moment as "cringey and awkward, even if it was well-intentioned". A polite man, her husband allowed the employee to pray for him because "he didn't want to make it awkward." 'This really isn't about religion' "What's gotten lost in the conversation is that this really isn't about religion—it's about boundaries," the OP told Newsweek. "Prayer, like anything personal, should be consensual. "It's not the content of the message that's the issue; it's that the setting didn't exactly allow for a comfortable 'no', even to a nice, well-intentioned worker. That's what rubbed us the wrong way." The OP noted she and her husband are natives of San Diego and don't plan to stop going to In-N-Out. Other Burger Coverage Burgers aren't as popular as they once were, especially among members of Gen Z. Experts told Newsweek that this reflects a growing focus on sustainability and health. Still, companies are making an effort to keep the burgers coming. McDonald's recently added a new burger to the Value Menu—the Daily Double burger, which comes with two beef patties, American cheese, shredded lettuce, slivered onions, mayo and tomato.

Trump's EU agreement shows he still knows art of the deal
Details on the energy and investment stipulations are vague for now. But if they happen at anywhere close to the levels promised, they will be a huge boost for the U.S. economy and drive job growth in agriculture, energy and other vital sectors. Trump's EU trade deal is fuel for US economy The EU deal is a big deal on multiple fronts. When Trump threatened high tariffs in April, stock markets plummeted. Critics claimed Trump was wrecking the economy, and analysts raised fears of a recession this year. Three months later, the Nasdaq and S&P 500 have set multiple record highs, job growth is strong and forecasters expect a healthy growth in gross domestic product when the second quarter number is released this week. Opinion newsletter: Sign up for our newsletter on conservative values, family and religion from columnist Nicole Russell. Get it delivered to your inbox. I've heard few critics, save perhaps comedian Bill Maher, acknowledge that tariffs functioned as excellent leverage to persuade countries to agree to more favorable trade terms with the U.S. Many of those critics underestimated the president's negotiation skills. The Financial Times reported that one European ambassador remarked, "Trump worked out exactly where our pain threshold is." Opinion: Nvidia CEO says Trump gives America an advantage. Hear that, progressives? Trump's EU deal will help blue-collar workers The decades-long push for young people to attend college rather than gain the skills needed to work in a trade has created a labor gap. A McKinsey study released in 2024 found that manufacturers and construction companies face a hiring crunch for carpenters, electricians, welders and plumbers. This EU deal might help change that as hundreds of billions of dollars are poured into the energy industry and other sectors. The financial incentives to work in the skilled trades could well be better than ever. Opinion: In-N-Out owner places order to go - out of California Mike Rowe, former host of the television show "Dirty Jobs," has become an ambassador for blue-collar employment via his foundation, which offers scholarships to help young people complete a trade program. On July 22, Rowe told Brian Kilmeade on his Fox News show that "paralegal, and anything creative, writing in general, coding ... AI is going to come for those" jobs. But Rowe said there's never been a better time to become a skilled laborer: "We are entering the golden age of plumbing, steamfitting, pipefitting, welding, HVAC. Those jobs are not going to be impacted by" artificial intelligence. Critics can hate Trump's personality all they want, but the president's ability to forge trade deals that favor American workers shouldn't be discounted. I voted for this and would do so again. After months of economic wins, I'd like to know why you didn't? Nicole Russell is a columnist at USA TODAY and a mother of four who lives in Texas.

Raising a family, doing business in California not easy, In-N-Out boss says
There's something about In-N-Out that strikes a fierce if not irrational sense of pride among many Angelenos and Southern Californians. There are several fan clubs and awards, including Yelp's No. 1 Fast Food chain honor earlier this year and Market Force's 2022 'best burger experience.' For some reason, there isn't the same fervor for Southern California's own McDonald's, one of the top 10 brands in the world, or for Santa Barbara's The Habit, which beat In-N-Out in July 2024 for USA Today's best fast food burger accolade. Times readers even lambasted former food columnist Lucas Kwan Peterson when he placed L.A.'s Fatburger atop his fast food burger rankings in 2022. Maybe that's what made the news that Lynsi Snyder, billionaire owner and chief executive of the iconic Baldwin Park brand, was leaving the Golden State last week all the more jarring. Colleague Piper Heath broke down the announcement Monday, while columnist Lorraine Ali opined on what the decision meant. Snyder made an appearance on the podcast 'Relatable' on July 18, hosted by conservative commentator Allie Beth Stuckey. During the interview, Snyder uttered a statement that created shockwaves locally. 'There's a lot of great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here. Doing business is not easy here,' she said as part of her announcement that her business was continuing its eastward expansion. The move to Tennessee represents a seismic shift for the leader of the brand. Currently operating more than 400 locations across eight states — California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Oregon, Colorado, Texas and Idaho — In-N-Out has long thrived on being the burger chain you couldn't find everywhere. Snyder's comments set off a disinformation blitz, launching the Double-Double into the middle of a red-state/blue-state culture war where, clearly, nothing is sacred, Ali wrote. Anti-Cali factions incorrectly crowed about yet another business fleeing the West Coast. More proof that Gov. Gavin Newsom's 'failing' state sucks! It appeared that In-N-Out was following Tesla and Charles Schwab, companies that cited regulatory challenges and operational costs among their reasons for relocating. Chevron also fled. Many in SoCal felt abandoned and disrespected. They, after all, propped up the chain for 76 years, only to be told by its owner that the place that made her family's business — their home — is no longer to her liking. On X, Oracle Park Seagull posted ''Not easy for In N Out to do business in California…' Said the person who became a billionaire doing business almost exclusively in California. So much so, it was a point of pride for the chain. Gotcha.' During the podcast, Snyder discussed elements of California policy that make the state hard to operate in, referencing pandemic-era restrictions as particularly challenging. She told Stuckey 'the bulk of our stores are still going to be here in California.' The relocation of both corporate operations and the CEO signals a fundamental change in the company's center of gravity. 'It will be wonderful having an office out there, growing out there, and being able to have the family and other people's families out there,' Snyder said, though she maintains limits on expansion. Newsom even chimed in, starting his X post with, 'For those interested in the facts, rather than fiction, In-N-Out is expanding East — creating a second HQ in Tennessee.' Snyder responded Monday in an Instagram post: 'Where I raise my family has nothing to do with my love and appreciation for our customers in California.' Immigration and ICE raids Trump Administration policy, actions and pushback Crime, courts and policing Health and medicine Get wrapped up in tantalizing stories about dating, relationships and marriage.
