In-N-Out Burger is a privately owned and operated fast food restaurant chain in the Western United States. Founded in 1948 and headquartered in Irvine, California, In-n-Out Burger has since expanded to Arizona and Nevada, and will expand to Utah in late Spring 2008. The restaurant chain has developed a loyal customer base and is one of the few fast-food chains in the United States to pay its employees significantly more than state and federal mandated minimum wages - up to $10 dollars per hour in California as of January 2008.
