In-N-Out Burger is an American regional chain of fast food restaurants with locations primarily in California and the Southwest. As the chain has expanded, it has opened several distribution centers in addition to its original Baldwin Park location. The second In-N-Out was on the corner of Azusa Canyon Road and San Cook out menu Road, the third was in Pasadena and the fourth was opened west of the intersection of Grand Avenue and Arrow Highway in Covina, California, in the late 1950s. In 1976, 24-year-old Rich Snyder became the company president after his father’s death.

Along with his brother Guy, Rich had begun working in his father’s In-N-Outs at an early age. Over the next 20 years, the chain experienced a period of rapid growth under Rich’s leadership, expanding to 93 restaurants. In June 1988, In-N-Out opened its 50th location which was located in Thousand Palms, California. The first location outside of the Los Angeles metropolitan area was opened in San Diego County in 1990, the 57th location in the chain. Upon Rich Snyder’s death in 1993, Guy Snyder assumed the presidency and continued the company’s aggressive expansion until he died from an overdose of painkillers in 1999. Under his leadership, In-N-Out’s 100th location was opened in Gilroy, California on November 10, 1994.
