🟢 NOT PRIVATE EQUITY OWNED
In-N-Out Burger
fast food · Irvine, CA
“Still family-owned since 1948. Some things remain sacred.”
Why It's Different
- •Lynsi Snyder owns 100% of the company — inherited full control on her 35th birthday and has publicly refused to ever franchise, sell, or go public
- •Founded by Harry and Esther Snyder in Baldwin Park, California in 1948; still family-owned 78 years later with zero outside investors
- •Generates over $2.1 billion in annual revenue across 425+ locations, all company-owned — no franchisees, no shareholders, no board to answer to
- •Snyder on going public: 'The only reason we would do that is for the money, and I wouldn't do it.'
