In-N-Out Burger backs away from Mt. Juliet location. Will they look elsewhere in city?

In-N-Out Burger has "officially stepped away," from a specific Mt. Juliet location where the West Coast based company was moving forward plans to build a new restaurant, according to a city official. 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.
