Beyond California: In-N-Out's massive Tennessee expansion takes shape
In-N-Out Burger's expansion into Tennessee is coming into clearer focus with the recent approval of a new location just north of Nashville. Last week, a regional transportation committee approved two resolutions for an In-N-Out at RiverGate Mall, a shopping center undergoing renovation in Goodlettsville and Madison, according to Fox 17. Two years ago, the beloved Southern California-based burger chain announced its plans to expand into the Volunteer State with, at the time, an unspecified number of restaurants. 'I've fallen in love with really the whole state,' President Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson said at the time. Now, according to the Nashville Business Journal, In-N-Out is eyeing 35 possible Tennessee locations, in addition to a new regional headquarters in Franklin. They're expected to begin opening in 2026. Besides the RiverGate Mall site, other planned Tennessee locations include Lebanon, Mt. Juliet, Madison, Antioch, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Memphis, Clarksville, Cookeville, Jackson, Morristown, and the Tri-Cities area. Tennessee will mark In-N-Out's farthest expansion eastward to date. The chain currently operates over 400 locations across eight states: California, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Oregon, and Idaho. Its first Washington state location is expected to open this summer. In-N-Out Burger was founded by Harry and Esther Snyder in Baldwin Park, California, in 1948. Their granddaughter, Lynsi Snyder, took over the family business in 2010, and it remains a family-owned operation with no franchises. Earlier this year, the company announced plans to relocate its home office from Irvine, in Orange County, back to Baldwin Park by 2029. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Goodlettsville Board of Commissioners set to consider RiverGate Mall economic plan
GOODLETTSVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — City leaders in Goodlettsville are set to pass a major economic plan related to the complete revitalization effort of the RiverGate Mall property. As part of the plan to completely overhaul the northern Davidson County property, Metro Nashville leaders passed a substantial economic plan related to the deal. The plan estimates nearly $100 million in annual earnings and millions more in tax revenues for the community. RiverGate Mall redevelopment could make multimillion-dollar impact in Nashville Because the property is also located in Goodlettsville and Sumner County, the Goodlettsville Board of Commissioners must also approve all the plans Metro has for the property. They will have a special called meeting on Thursday, May 29, in order to go over the proposed economic plan and give their stamp of approval on it. The conceptual site plan for the RiverGate Mall property redevelopment includes a number of components, such as multifamily housing, townhomes for sale, senior housing, retail, restaurant, sports and entertainment facilities, medical offices, general offices and hotels. The goal will be an 'integrated mixed-use community' that will 'promote significant economic development,' according to Metro documents. In addition to considering the economic plan, Goodlettsville commissioners will also consider a tax increment financing plan, or a TIF, as part of the overall proposal for the city. Neighborhood News: Stories impacting your community | Read More According to the Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury's office, TIF projects allow cities to pay for community improvement projects using future tax revenues. TIFs essentially allow development projects to pay for themselves over time, such as by increased property tax values for specific developments. Commissioner Jesse Walker told News 2 he was 'encouraged' by the proposal before the commission. 'Throughout my campaign, one of the most common concerns I heard from Goodlettsville residents was the need to revitalize the RiverGate area. I'm encouraged to see a viable proposal on the table and look forward to working closely with the developer, and Metro Council, to ensure that any project brought forward serves the best interests of our entire community,' he said in a statement. 'A development of this scale has the potential to bring a transformational effect to RiverGate, and I'm committed to making sure we get it right.' The board of commissioners will meet at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 29, at City Hall – Massie Chambers. Do you have news happening in your neighborhood?
