California is a beautiful place.

But it has had horrible leadership in the Democratic Party for years, from folks like LA Mayor Karen Bass to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Instead of being concerned about things he should be focused on in the
Golden State, he's already spending a lot of his time gearing up for a run
for president in 2028, doing things like attacking his likely competition
in Vice President JD Vance. Having such leadership has made it hard for
the people who have had to live there and deal with things like the
Pacific Palisades fires or the crime in Los Angeles.

It's also hard for people trying to run businesses in the state.

Lynsi Snyder has a business there. Indeed, she runs quite a famous
business - she's the president of In-N-Out Burger. She appeared on
"Relatable" with Allie Beth Stuckey on Friday to talk about some of her experiences. "In-N-Out has weathered so much," she said, saying God had
had his hand on their company and explaining some of her personal
evolution.

She spoke about hoops they had to go through during COVID, and that they refused to police customers over vaccine cards at that time.

Their San Francisco location was briefly closed, but she said it was
"worth it."

Reports also indicated they closed an In-N-Out in Oakland in 2024 due to
an ongoing problem with crime.

She also spoke about a big move that they're making, that they'll be
opening up an office in Franklin, Tennessee, and she'll be moving there.

“Raising a family is not easy here,” she told Stuckey. “Doing business is not easy here.”

She said they would be closing their Irvine headquarters by 2030 and consolidating that into their headquarters in Baldwin Park, California.

The "bulk of the stores" will still be in California, she explained. But
she said it will be great to grow in Tennessee and have the "family and
other people's families" out there. They're planning on having locations
for the restaurant opening in Tennessee in 2026, which will make folks in
that area very happy. They're still turning down other places like Florida
so far.

You have to give any company respect for dealing with all the regulations
and the things they have to put up with in California, and I'm sure
they'll find it very welcoming in Tennessee.
