Behind the Scenes at In-N-Out Burger

The Orange County Register published a comprehensive article today on the history, inner workings, and future of one of Southern California's most beloved institutions.

Regarding recent corporate controversy, In-N-Out execs say they will not be expanding beyond California, Nevada, and Arizona -- in part because they fear a loss of quality control if they must open a separate "hub" to ship the deliveries of the fresh meat and produce which are such a big part of the company's success.

As the article notes in the conclusion, the company has remained a success while weathering a number of storms, including the untimely deaths of the founders' two sons. Hopefully they will also emerge as strong as ever after the current legal wranglings come to a conclusion.
