Watch out, Nashville Hot Chicken. Double Double "animal style" comes in Voluntary state.
In-N-Out Burger is taking their signature burgers east, at least further east than they've ever been before.
The beloved burger chain will open its first corporate center in Tennessee in 2026, and plans to open a few restaurants around Nashville in the next few years.
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee first broke the news on Twitter saying, "Welcome In-N-Out Burger, you'll love it here."

Straight outta CaliFirst opened 75 years ago in Baldwin Park, California, In-N-Out was recently named California's most popular fast food restaurant.
The restaurant has gained a fan base outside of the Golden State. Over the years, In-N-Out has opened stores in 385 locations across the western United States, including Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Texas, Oregon and Colorado.
Tennessee will be the furthest In-N-Out from home.
But In-N-Out isn't just planning to open a few burger joints in the area: they'll also be setting up a new headquarters in Franklin, a suburb of Nashville.
The company's chief operating officer, Denny Warnick, told The Tennessean the 100,000 square foot office will house departments such as operations, management and human resources . The expansion is expected to cost $125.5 million and create approximately 275 jobs.
In-N-Out isn't the only popular burger joint heading to Eastward Ho. Texas-based Whataburger opened its first restaurants in Tennessee last year.
Why Tennessee?According to In-N-Out President Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson, granddaughter of the In-N-Out founders, it was love at first site.
"We came here years ago, actually east of the fumes, but came back to Pigeon Forge and Nashville and fell in love. There was another state that was definitely interested and wanted us there, but we chose Nashville."
Family-centric Snyder-Ellingson said she thought of her grandparents in every decision she made.
"I always consider what my family would want. I have no doubt that my grandparents, my father and my uncle would be proud of this decision to expand our family of Associates and serve even more incredible clients at from Nashville and surrounding areas,” she said in a statement.
