The In-N-Out Heiress Explains Closure of Oakland Location
The In-N-Out heiress, Lynsi Snyder, revealed that the decision to close the sole Oakland location of the popular burger chain was due to safety concerns.
Snyder shared in an interview with PragerU that the store had experienced incidents such as gunshots, stabbings, and other dangerous situations.
The company made the difficult decision to prioritize the safety of its employees and customers by closing the profitable Oakland outpost.
Following an 18-year presence in Oakland, In-N-Out permanently closed its doors in January, marking the first closure in its 75-year history.
The decision was made due to ongoing safety concerns, with the company’s COO, Denny Warnick, citing incidents of car break-ins, theft, and armed robberies in the area.
Employees at the closed location were offered the choice to transfer to other In-N-Out restaurants or receive a severance package.
The vacant building is currently listed for sale at $4 million, as the company prioritizes the safety of its staff and patrons.
Despite its prime location near the airport and sports venues, the area had a higher rate of violent crime compared to national averages, leading to the closure of the In-N-Out store.
Police data revealed numerous incidents in the vicinity of the store, including robberies, burglaries, car break-ins, and other criminal activities.
