According to recently proposed site plans with the Lebanon Planning Commission, the retro-inspired burger chain sweeping the nation is eyeing a location at South Hartmann Dr. In-N-Out is seeking approval for a yet-to-be-built 3,885-square-foot restaurant in front of a Home Depot in Nashville’s nearby suburb, Lebanon. An exact address is pending construction.
Though a specific opening timeline is too far out to determine, the process could take up to one to two years before fully opening. The first Tennessee In-N-Out location is set for a 2025 opening in Franklin’s Berry Farms development.
The City of Lebanon’s Facebook page posted the announcement in early March, excited about the growth opportunity it presents.
“I think the residents and community of Lebanon will be excited to welcome In-N-Out Burger. Millions of people consider this to be the best burger out there! And I can’t wait to order off their not-so-secret menu! Sarah Haston, our Economic Development Director, and I have been working hard on recruiting the iconic burger joint since they announced they were adding corporate offices and bringing their brand to middle Tennessee,” Mayor Rick Bell said in the post.
In-N-Out offers a variety of classic American comfort food items including burgers, grilled cheeses, cheeseburgers, fries, soda, milkshakes, and of course, its “secret menu” ordering system. Its always-fresh, always-affordable options offer an appealing meal for just about anyone.
“Lebanon residents always tell me we need more restaurant choices, and I promise that Sarah Haston and I are working very hard to make that happen. I am excited about In-N-Out Burger choosing to be in Lebanon, and I believe if you are looking at expanding in Middle Tennessee, then you should consider our city,” Mayor Bell added.
Lebanon has been growing recently, with plenty of retail and dining options coming soon including Aubrey’s, Olivia Cocktail and Oyster Bar, and East Nashville Beer Works.
What Now Nashville will continue following In-N-Out’s expansion efforts in Tennessee as its arrival gets closer.
