In-N-Out Burger Is Now Open in Franklin, TN

Franklin made fast food history on February 25, 2026. In-N-Out Burger — the California-born institution that spent 75 years never venturing east of Texas — officially opened at 1951 Double Double Drive in the Berry Farms area of southern Franklin. The lines were long, the anticipation was real, and if the reaction from Middle Tennessee's large California transplant community is any indication, the Double-Doubles did not disappoint.

For families who relocated here from the West Coast, this one hits differently. In-N-Out isn't just a burger chain — it's a piece of home that followed them here.

The Details

The Franklin location features one drive-thru lane, indoor seating for 74 guests, and a covered patio that seats another 54. Hours are 10:30 a.m. daily. Justin Temple, a 20-year In-N-Out veteran, manages the restaurant.

The chain's commitment to freshness holds at the Franklin location — beef is ground in-house and delivered fresh throughout the week, never frozen, and fries are cut from whole potatoes daily on site.

First Time at In-N-Out?

The standard menu is deliberately simple: burgers, cheeseburgers, the Double-Double, fries, shakes, and drinks. The not-so-secret menu is where regulars live. Animal Style adds mustard cooked into the patty, extra spread, grilled onions, and pickles. Protein Style wraps everything in lettuce instead of a bun. Animal Style Fries bring the spread, cheese, and grilled onions to the fries. Ask for any of these by name — the staff knows exactly what you mean.

Bigger Than a Burger

In-N-Out has committed $125.5 million to Franklin, with a 100,000-square-foot eastern territory headquarters under construction at the adjacent address on Double Double Drive. When complete, the office is expected to bring 277 jobs to Williamson County averaging $90,000 in salary — positioning Franklin as the operational hub for In-N-Out's entire eastern expansion.

The Franklin restaurant is the fourth In-N-Out in Middle Tennessee, following openings in Lebanon, Antioch, and Murfreesboro. A fifth location near Madison is under construction.

What It Means for Berry Farms

A $125 million corporate commitment doesn't land in a neighborhood by accident. In-N-Out's decision to plant its eastern headquarters in Berry Farms — alongside the Publix-anchored retail core, growing restaurant scene, and continued residential development — reinforces what makes this corridor worth watching as a long-term community investment.

For families evaluating Berry Farms as a place to live, the caliber of companies choosing to locate here tells its own story.
