COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — In-N-Out Burger is celebrating the grand opening of a new Colorado restaurant on Friday.
The California-based fast food chain will open a new restaurant location in Colorado Springs at 10:30 a.m. Friday.
The new In-N-Out Burger restaurant is located at 495 Garden of the Gods Road, near Interstate 25 and Garden of the Gods Road in north Colorado Springs.
Sean Regan, an In-N-Out veteran of 15 years, will manage the restaurant, the third In-N-Out location in Colorado Springs.
In-N-Out Burger said the restaurant will have one drive-thru lane, indoor seating for 84 guests, and a covered patio with outdoor seating for 28 guests.
The restaurant is the 12th In-N-Out Burger location in Colorado. The restaurant will employ approximately 80 workers with a starting wage of $19.50 per hour.
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 Burger opened its first Colorado locations in Aurora and Colorado Springs in November 2020.
Since then, Colorado restaurants have also opened in Denver, Lone Tree, Lakewood, Thornton, Castle Rock, Loveland, Arvada and Parker. It also has a 97,900-square-foot distribution facility in Colorado Springs.
In-N-Out Burger has proposed other restaurant locations in Colorado.
The chain has filed development plans for a new location in Timnath, near Fort Collins and Interstate 25. The proposed 3,860-square-foot burger restaurant would be located at the Ladera subdivision along the Interstate 25 Frontage Road.
Another proposed restaurant would be located in Longmont, southwest of the intersection of Colorado Highway 119 and Harvest Moon Drive, northeast of Costco.
In-N-Out Burger previously launched a Cookout Truck in Colorado that brings burgers and side items to private events as a catering option.
In addition to serving parts of Denver and Colorado Springs, In-N-Out has launched the Cookout Truck in parts of Los Angeles including parts of Ventura, San Bernardino and Riverside counties in California as well as Dallas, Texas.
In-N-Out said the trucks are fully self-contained units, equipped with generators and operated and staffed completely by In-N-Out Burger workers. The trucks serve the Double-Double, cheeseburger, hamburger, grilled cheese, chips and fountain drinks. The burger chain notes that french fries and shakes cannot be prepared on the trucks.
In-N-Out Burger is known for its double-double burger and animal-style fries. In-N-Out Burger has more than 330 fast-food locations throughout several Western states including California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Texas, Oregon and Idaho.
In-N-Out was founded by Harry and Esther Snyder and is still owned and operated by the Snyder family, and none of its locations are franchised.
