Linsey Snyder, president and owner of In-N-Out, spoke after social media users criticized her for the comments she made for the home staff of the chain.
The 43 -year -old Snyder issued a statement on July 22nd after making critical comments about the Golden State when he discussed his family’s relocation to Tennessee, where the company was also planned to open an eastern office to “support our growth”.
“I’m very proud of where in-n-out started,” Snyder writes. “Anyone who knows me knows how often I talk about our beginning and how our customers here in California have helped us bring us to where we are today.”
The reverse reaction began shortly after Snyder, who has run the Burger Empire since 2010, complains of life and doing business in California in a recent interview.
“As you said, there are many great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here,” Snyder told Ali Beth Stiki, hosting the “relaxing” podcast. “Doing a business is not easy here.”
Snyder did not further develop the reasons why she and a handful of NN-Out staff, along with their families, would head east of Franklin, Tennessee, but told Stuckey that “it will be wonderful to have an office there growing there.”
The heir to In-Out Lynsi Snyder responds to criticism
In response to an online Flack, which Snyder received after the interview, she published a three-minute installation of In-No-Out themed in her social media accounts to dispel the wrong interpretations of the company’s expansion in Tennessee and to show love in the company’s home country.
In the video, Snyder clarified the following points:
-
“We are not moving to the Corporate Staff of In-N-Out. In addition to our Baldwin Park office, we are expanding with an office in the eastern territory in Tennessee to support our growth.”
-
“We do not leave California or leave our roots behind us. Each of our places is here to stay.”
-
“Moving to Tennessee provides our associates in-n-out wonderful opportunities for buying a home and raising a family and to be part of our expansion to another part of the United States”
-
“Where I raise my family, it has nothing to do with my love and appreciation for our customers in California.”
This move, Snyder says in his vote, is part of a “healthy plan” for the growth of the company and provides “so many” opportunities for people to have homes in Tennessee and surrounding countries where they might be.
“We have been expanding in new countries since 1992 and we are in line with our growth standards,” Snyder wrote. “Opening an office away from our roots is something new and exciting. It brings incredible opportunities for the people we love and the customers we serve.”
Snyder also confirmed in the interview that In-N-Out Burger plans to close his offices in Irvine by 2030.
