A report over the book IN-N-OUT BURGER by Stacy Perman
This book provides a comprehensive historical view of In-N-Out franchise from its birth in 1948, as a single hamburger stand in Baldwin Park, California (in the region of San Gabriel in Los Angeles suburbs) in a well-admired regional burger chain with rabid followers. The books were published under the imprint of Collins, whose business makes sense, because it is basically the biography of the company.

I don't think I can wait much longer before booking it cross-country for a Double-Double.
2. The first In-N-Out was opened in Baldwin Park, California in 1948.
After the war, rapidly modernizing America, the food was better prepared and consumed outside the home. Burger shack began to emerge in urban centers and the demand was high. After several less successful entrepreneurship, Snyder came to the burger bandwagon and began serving fast food in earnest.

Snyder did not believe in franchising or public ownership of the company, and at the peak of the expansion-N-Out, they are only open 10 or 12 new stores a year.
