A Bay Area In-N-Out Burger location is going to be shutting its
doors due to crime.
The restaurant is the only one in Oakland, California. The company
told FOX Business that regular car break-ins, property damage, theft
and armed robberies of customers and employees led to the decision
to shut down.
"We are grateful for the local community, which has supported us for
over 18 years, and we recognize that this closure negatively impacts
our Associates and their families," Chief Operating Officer Danny
Warwick said in a statement. "Additionally, this location remains a
busy and profitable one for the company, but our top priority must
be the safety and wellbeing of our Customers and Associates – we
cannot ask them to visit or work in an unsafe environment."
The fast-food company said they have unsuccessfully taken "repeated
steps" to deter crime and maximize safety.
The Oakland Police Department did not immediately respond to an
inquiry about crime reports at the business, but data collected by
the San Francisco Chronicle shows nine robberies, two commercial
burglaries, four domestic violence incidents and 1,174 car break-
ins.
A current employee told the newspaper thieves busted open her car
windows last year.
The last day customers can buy burgers, fries and shakes at the
Oakport Street location is March 24. It has been operating for 18
years, KRON reports.
Current employees will be able to work at other nearby locations or
receive a severance package, In-N-Out said.
Remaining restaurants nearby are in Alameda, San Leandro, Union City
and San Ramon, according to KTVU Fox 2.
