In-N-Out Burger’s billionaire president Lynsi Snyder is leaving California for Tennessee. She says raising a family and running a business in California has become too hard. This is a major blow to the state where the beloved burger chain started 77 years ago.
Snyder announced her family’s move to Franklin, Tennessee on a podcast Friday. She grew up in Northern California and loves the state. But the business climate and family life pushed her out. She’s not alone – many fed-up families are escaping California’s chaos.
Doing business in California keeps getting tougher every year. High taxes and endless regulations strangle companies. The state’s leaders don’t care about hardworking people trying to earn a living. They only push radical policies that hurt businesses.
Snyder’s move comes as In-N-Out builds its new Eastern headquarters in Tennessee. The burger chain plans to open offices and restaurants there by 2026. This expansion shows where real opportunity exists today – not in failing blue states but in America’s heartland.
Most In-N-Out locations will stay in California for now. But the writing is on the wall. The company already expanded to Texas, Idaho and Colorado over the past decade. Now Tennessee gets the headquarters. This is what happens when states punish success.
Tennessee welcomes families and job creators with open arms. Low taxes and common-sense laws let businesses thrive. Families can actually raise kids without crazy politics in the classroom. That’s why freedom-loving Americans are flocking there.
California liberals should see this as a wake-up call. Their reckless policies are driving out even iconic homegrown companies. But they won’t listen. They keep pushing the same failed agenda that created this mess.
The American dream is fading in places like California but alive and well in Tennessee. Common sense conservatives understand that hard work should be rewarded, not punished. That’s the real recipe for success.
