  "account": "In-N-Out, the California-based burger chain, is considering expanding into Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma, according to its owner and president Lynsi Snyder. The company currently operates 445 restaurants across 10 states, with 289 located in California. In-N-Out recently ventured into Tennessee and plans to open a location in New Mexico next year. Since their Tennessee stores receive supplies from Texas, Snyder suggests that existing distribution networks in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma could support additional locations. The burger chain has been experiencing growth, with domestic sales increasing by about 10% last year compared to 2024. This growth places In-N-Out in second place among US burger chains, just behind New York-based Shake Shack, according to a June report by the Wall Street Journal based on data from Technomic.",
  "summary": "Snyder told actor Terry Crews in an interview on the company’s website that the chain’s Texas supply route to Tennessee could make all three states a natural next step.",
