WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - The only In-N-Out outlet in Oakland will close on March 24 after operating for over 18 years at the Oakport Street location due to mounting issues with crimes.
Denny Warnick, the Chief Operating Officer, stated that ongoing crime problems led to the decision, as despite efforts to enhance safety, the company cited incidents such as car break-ins, property damage, theft, and armed robberies affecting customers and staff.
In-N-Out expressed unsuccessful attempts to address the crime issues and maintain safety.
Data from the San Francisco Chronicle revealed nine robberies, two commercial burglaries, four domestic violence incidents, and 1,174 car break-ins.
Furthermore, the company stated that current employees will be offered the option to work at nearby locations or receive a severance package.
