This In-N-Out location is closing for months – and it’s a good thing

We’ve all been there—the In-N-Out Burger line snaking out of the driveway and down the street. Those legendary Animal Style burgers, fries, and shakes come with a price: traffic.

Local radio host Tim Conway Jr. even suggested (perhaps not jokingly) sending someone inside to buy the fries, then enjoying the hot fries in the car while navigating the drive-thru line for the hot hamburgers at the end. Genius strategy.

Well, one well-known In-N-Out location is doing something about those drive-thrus.

People who live in the San Gabriel Valley will notice that the In-N-Out on Atlantic in Alhambra is now closed for construction. The company confirms that the “location at 1210 N. Atlantic Boulevard in Alhambra is temporarily closed to allow for improvements to the parking lot and drive-thru lane.”

Improvements to the drive-thru lane! We wanted to know more.

Anyone who frequents that In-N-Out knows the drive-thru is right where Atlantic and Garfield cross before Huntington, as people navigate a monster intersection and the drive-thru line.

While In-N-Out wasn’t spilling the details, the City of Alhambra has information on their site because the construction needs city approval.

The city says, “The proposed project involves a reconfiguration of the existing drive-thru and the site layout, including new CMU walls, a curved seating wall, new trash enclosure, and new landscaping. The existing restaurant building will remain in its current location.”

The City of Alhambra website also has something else—an artist’s rendering of the new In-N-Out.

In-N-Out remains family-owned and operates some 400 restaurants across the West.
