From the ground up... it might look like a bunch of dirt now, but these renderings show what the future holds for In-N-Out Burger’s Tennessee expansion. On Tuesday, Sept. 10, developers broke ground on what will become the California burger chain’s first corporate office and restaurant east of Texas.

The restaurant will come first with an anticipated fall 2025 opening (1951 Double-Double Dr.), followed by the office, next door, a year later in 2026. The development brings with it a total price tag of nearly $126 million.

As previously reported, the brand has big plans for Middle Tennessee with additional locations set to follow in Antioch, Goodlettsville, Lebanon, Mt. Juliet, and Murfreesboro.
