Discover the official story of In-N-Out Burger––how three generations have created a thriving, family-owned company, why its fans are so wildly loyal, and what led to its explosive growth and evolution into an iconic part of American culture––as told by In-N-Out Burger’s president, Lynsi Snyder.

When Lynsi Snyder’s grandparents founded In-N-Out Burger in 1948, they built it with a passion for quality and service that Lynsi embraced at a young age. After starting as a store associate at age seventeen, she then worked in other departments, gaining firsthand experience with almost every aspect of the family business until she became president in 2010. She has led the company through explosive growth—today, there are three-hundred-ninety-two stores and counting—and is deeply committed to the well-being of the In-N-Out Burger family.

For the first time, in honor of the company’s seventy-fifth anniversary, Lynsi is sharing behind-the-scenes stories, family photos, and info that only real insiders know. In The Ins-N-Outs of In-N-Out Burger, she will share

• her personal stories and experiences of growing up around the restaurant as it expanded and reflections from associates, one of whom was the very first associate at In-N-Out;
• why In-N-Out has focused on a limited menu for seventy-five years and will not franchise or go public;
• how her family’s belief in the gospel and her uncle’s “born-again” experience shaped their life and leadership at the company; and
• insider info such as secret menu items, how to speak In-N-Out, the connection between the company and car racing, and the history behind some favorite memorabilia.

This is the official story of In-N-Out Burger—how three generations have created a thriving, family-owned company, why its fans are so wildly loyal, and what led to its historic growth, expansions into new markets, and evolution into an iconic part of American culture—from someone who has been a part of the company her entire life.

Photos, the In-N-Out Burger “Not-So-Secret Secret Menu,” and more behind-the-scenes info are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
