Fatburger vs. In and Out

[Dranakin]

<p>

One reason In-N-Out has not expanded rapidly is that their food is never frozen. The delivery trucks are only able to travel a limited distance from In-N-Out’s sole meat-packing plant, where the company does its own boning, grinding, and pattying of fresh beef chuck—and due to logistical and cost issues, it is not likely they will open other meat packing plants. This commitment to “freshness” has limited the restaurant’s expansion to Northern California, Nevada, and Arizona.

<p>The only way they can expand is to open another meat-packing plant somewhere else, but as the quote says, it’s unlikely.</p>
