In-N-Out is moving HQ from CA to TN: "It’s too difficult to do business here."

Regarding the difficulty of doing business, In-N-Out has rankled with its home state over legal issues in the past—namely, when the business refused to comply with officials and request customers must show proof of vaccination to make purchases.

In-N-Out’s San Francisco restaurant was shut down for a couple of days, with Snyder saying: “There were so many pressures and hoops we were having to jump through.

You know: ‘You’ve got to do this, they have to wear a mask, you have to put this plastic thing up between us and out customers.’ “It was really terrible, I look back and I’m like man, maybe we should have just pushed even harder on some of that stuff and dealt with all the legal backlash. But that was definitely where we held the line, like we’re not policing our customers.”

Likewise, last year, the company told local station KTVU it had raised its prices—a move Snyder has historically fought against—to comply with the state’s fast food minimum wage rules and maintain quality.
