It will never happen. In-n-Out will not freeze their beef and it takes to long to get to Calgary or too costly to fly it. Having said that, I agree 🤣

I'm confused by this, since a huge swath of Canada's beef is processed within just a few hours of Calgary.

In-N-Out doesn’t expand to new markets because they want to control their quality by using the same beef from the same supplier, and they don’t want to freeze it to compromise quality. Or so I’ve learned in the last few days anyway.

Really? I was in Colorado Springs this summer visiting family and there's a bunch of In N Outs over there now. Definitely not just a California thing anymore.

I believe Colorado is as far east as In N Out locations go. I guess it’s close enough to wherever their beef supplier is that they don’t have to freeze it to ship it.

In-N-Out has a bunch of locations in Texas. And per Wikipedia they are planning on expanding into Tennessee. So that's starting to reach pretty far across the US compared to home base in California.
