MADERA – In 1948, Harry Snyder, with his wife Esther, opened In-N-Out Burger, California's first "drive-thru" hamburger stand. Today, hamburgers are still made-to-order, shakes are made with real ice cream, and In-N-Out Associates are still treated like family. Starting today, In-N-Out hamburgers, shakes, and fries will be available at their newest location in Madera, California. 

As with all locations, fresh ingredients from In-N-Out will be supplied to the store. Hamburger patties are made from 100% American beef, and whole chucks are boned and ground by In-N-Out's own butchers. All patties are produced and delivered fresh throughout the week to the stores and are never frozen. French fries are made from fresh, whole potatoes and are hand-diced. 

As president and granddaughter of the founders, Lynsi Snyder helps guide the future of the In-N-Out Burger family of over 36,000 Associates at more than 385 locations; each restaurant remains dedicated to the same classic menu of burgers, fries, and fountain drinks first introduced by her grandparents—freshly prepared to each guest’s liking and never relying on microwaves or freezers.

To this day, whole, locally grown produce is sliced and prepped by Associates daily at every restaurant for each hamburger, cheeseburger, and signature Double-Double® Burger. Fresh whole potatoes are peeled and diced by hand for made-to-order French fries, and classic chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry shakes are made with real ice cream. Recently, the company brought back the taste of genuine hot cocoa.

When it comes to customer service, In-N-Out’s standards remain equally high. It’s the In-N-Out Associates, many of whom have been with In-N-Out for decades, who carry forward the time-honored values and practices established by Harry and Esther Snyder, ensuring every customer (and burger) is consistently served with the In-N-Out signature smile.

Consistency is achieved through uncompromising commitment: “There is no shortcut to growing great leaders through training,” Lynsi has stated when recognizing In-N-Out managers who started their careers in entry-level positions within the company. Their dedication and teamwork, along with In-N-Out Associates employed at every level, continue to attract growing numbers of loyal customers, earning In-N-Out the third highest position on Glassdoor’s 2021 list of America’s best places to work.

Ultimately, In-N-Out’s unparalleled commitment to quality points to a singular priority: the customer. Every decision made at every level within the organization ensures this “number one asset” is at the core. In the words of In-N-Out Associates, “Customers are the reason for our success.”

Reyna Bryant, who has been a veteran of In-N-Out for 24 years, will manage the new restaurant, located at 1830 W. Cleveland Avenue in front of the Madera District Fairgrounds. The restaurant will employ approximately 80 In-N-Out Burger Associates with an hourly starting wage of $20.00. There will be one drive-thru lane, indoor seating for 84 guests, and a covered patio with outdoor seating for 26 guests. 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.

For Friday's grand opening, In-N-Out Burger merchandise will be on sale in the tents outside the drive-thru lanes in the parking lot.

In-N-Out has locations throughout California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Colorado, and Idaho. Harry and Esther Snyder founded In-N-Out, which is still owned and operated by the Snyder family. None of the units are franchised.

As times change, In-N-Out remains the same.
