Grants Pass, Ore. — The burgers are grilling, the milkshakes are blending, and the fries are frying. After months of anticipation, the Grants Pass In-N-Out location is finally open.
“I have been waiting since they broke ground,” said customer Caroline Matasci.
Even before the doors opened at 8:30 Friday morning, loyal customers lined up to get their favorite meal. While most customers were local, some were passing through.
“I came here to get a fork – and it turns out there’s this grand opening and it’s wonderful,” said customer Alex Chmiel.
And some drove up in honor of tradition.
“I’ve been to the grand opening in Redding, the grand opening in Medford, and I needed to make this one,” Jayne Keller said, a Montague resident. For Keller, In-N-Out is more than a restaurant.
“A little reminder of home, I grew up in southern California,” Keller said. “It’s really nice to see southern Oregon and northern California – and that kind of forgotten section of northern California – have a place in In-N-Out’s world.”
A reminder to everyone, if you’re driving around this area, expect some delays – especially, during the dinner rush. Also, if you’re planning on eating at In-N-Out on another day. The restaurant opened early Friday morning for the grand opening – but beginning Saturday, it will open at its normal time at 10:30 a.m.
