One Person Owns All 19 In-N-Out Burgers in Los Angeles

Mert Iseri

Los Angeles has 19 In-N-Out Burgers inside city limits. We pulled the business registration behind every one.

All 19 belong to In-N-Out Burgers, a California corporation. Zero franchisees. The 18 city-registered stores share one tax account and one mailing address, the company's Irvine headquarters. Press reports name the person behind the company: Lynsi Snyder, president and owner, granddaughter of founders Harry and Esther Snyder.

55 years of data

The registration history goes back to 1971. No LA In-N-Out has ever changed owners in the city's records:

  • 5864 Lankershim Blvd, North Hollywood: registered May 1, 1971. The oldest store on the map, 55 years under the same owner.
  • Openings by decade: 5 in the 1970s, 2 in the 1980s, 6 in the 1990s, 5 in the 2000s, none in the 2010s.
  • 13864 Foothill Blvd, Sylmar: opened October 2025, the company's first new LA-city location since 2007.

Median tenure of the 18 registered stores is 31.1 years. The city's closed-business registry has no In-N-Out Burger closure on record.

For contrast: Chicago's 46 Burger Kings split across 8 franchisees. San Francisco has exactly one In-N-Out inside city limits, at Fisherman's Wharf, registered to the same corporation since 2001. In-N-Out does not franchise.

  • LA's Listing of Active Businesses dataset: 18 In-N-Out Burger locations actively registered, all under one tax account mailing to the Irvine headquarters.
  • The companion All Closed Businesses dataset: zero In-N-Out Burger closures.

Limitations: city limits only, no suburbs. Principals come from press reports, not state records. Registration start dates are a proxy for opening dates, and the new Sylmar store is company-sourced pending its city registry row.
