Oakland In-N-Out to Shut Its Doors After 2 Decades Over Soaring Crime

Oakland residents will soon have to travel a little further for their double-double and animal-style fries … cause their local In-N-Out Burger is shutting its doors over increased crime.

Chief Operating Officer Denny Warnick says a surge in car break-ins, property damage, theft, and armed robberies are just a few of the reasons the fast food joint’s closing its only Oakland location after nearly 2 decades in business.

He also says this wasn’t an overnight decision … they made persistent attempts to create safer conditions for employees and customers, but all came up short.

Basically, they couldn’t keep encouraging their clientele to visit high-risk places.

As for the staff at the burger joint, they’ll be able to transfer to other branches or receive a severance package.

If you’re in the Bay Area, there’s still time to head down to the popular grub spot and bid it “bun voyage” … the last day of operation is March 24.
