In-N-Out Burger’s only location in Oakland is closing after the cherished fast-food joint decided it could no longer risk the safety of fed-up workers and patrons in the city plagued by recent crime.
The location will shut its doors in March — despite the burger spot turning a profit — because of the constant crime in the community, In-N-Out Chief Operating Officer Denny Warnick said in a sudden announcement over the weekend.
The fast food joint has been in the California city for 18 years.
“Despite taking repeated steps to create safer conditions, our Customers and Associates are regularly victimized by car break-ins, property damage, theft, and armed robberies,” Warnick wrote, according to CBS East Bay, which obtained the announcement.
“Additionally, this location remains a busy and profitable one for the company, but our top priority must be the safety and wellbeing of our Customers and Associates – we cannot ask them to visit or work in an unsafe environment,” he said.
Data released by Oakland police at the start of the new year showed robberies increased 38% from 2022 to 2023, ABC 7 Bay Area reported.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST BURGERS IN THE USA.
GLAD THEY TOOK A SERIOUS STAND AGAINST THE CRIME.
Was it ever? 🤓
This is the first In-N-Out to ever close down, and if you live in California, you’ll understand how shocking this is because it’s virtually impossible to go to one at any time that isn’t totally packed with customers.
“It’s intentional. I’ve seen blacks (prosecutors, DAs, jurors) who openly admit they don’t “want to see another young black man in jail” so they avoid jail - only to go on to commit worse crimes “
That is a direct result of belief in the false assumption.
The logic goes like this. If all races on average are the same then there should not be a disproportionate number of blacks in jail. So, if there are, that means society is unjust, someone (whitey) who has the power is responsible for this injustice. So to fix that we won’t put blacks in jail and punish more whites. The same applies with poverty levels.
That official acceptance of that false assumption is the cause of the racial hell we’re living in.
Try this simple exercise. Assume there was absolutely no discrimination and everyone was hired and promoted on merit. Which group do you think would end up holding the more menial jobs? Kids from which group would do the worst in school?
And if you are a member of that group would you be asking, hey, why are so many of my people at the bottom rungs of the ladder. If we are the same as other groups?
Is this not what you’re seeing and living?
I guess you do not watch television. And Bernie Moreno is from Ohio. What does he know?
He must know something. Trump endorsed him.
He must know something. I guess he does not read today’s news.
Oakland is a dead town.
HA
The A’s are leaving for Vegas too.
And Oakland residents will do the same thig they’ve been doing for decades...elect more democrats who will do the same crap they’ve been pulling for decades. And you have...California!
Surfing the BELL CURVE!
In-N-Out Burger says it will close its first location in its 75-year history due to a wave of car break-ins, property damage, theft and robberies affecting customers and employees alike at its only restaurant in Oakland, California.
“We feel the frequency and severity of the crimes being encountered by our customers and associates leave us no alternative,” Warnick said.
