In-N-Out Burgers to Celebrate Their 60th Anniversary. but Will There Be Discounted Menu Items?

The famous American Restaurant In-N-Out Burgers will be celebrating its 60th Anniversary on Wednesday, October 22nd. The first restaurant opened in Baldwin Park, California back in 1948, and is still going strong with locations in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. Visitors to the area marvel at the tasty burgers and fries that the little restaurants serve, and using the simple plan of giving the customers high-quality burgers, the company has remained a huge success. Specialty items on the menu aren't visible, but rather exist in "secret" where everyone knows them, but they just don't appear on the in-store menu. These items include things like there 3x3 or 4x4 which means 3 or 4 patties as well as 3 or 4 slices of cheese on one burger. Their web-site does explain these extras, as well as a few other tantalizing options like the Flying Dutchman.

The restaurants have been going strong for almost 60 years, and the estimated revenue of the company was at $216.8 million in 2007according to the Company profile page. It goes without saying that this is a hugely successful company, and they do it by keeping both their employees and their customers happy. In fact, rather than hiring people at minimum wage, employees in California make a starting wage of $10.00 per hour, which is far better than any of the other fast food restaurants out there. Still privately owned, and proud of it, In-N-Out is one of those places that is so strong from word-of-mouth, that anyone who is a fan of hamburgers and traveling to California has to check it out.

Recently rumors have been shooting around the internet, stating that prices will be lowered for the 60th anniversary of the restaurant. Attached to that rumor is the fact that they will lower prices to what they were in 1948, meaning that hamburgers will be $.25, cheeseburgers $.30, Fries $.15 and soda for only $.10. Sorry folks, but this is one of those rumors that is just too good to be true, and one which seems to have just been started by several people hoping they could convince the company to go that route. Either that, or it is a very, very tightly guarded secret that wasn't supposed to get out, because the customer service number for In-N-Out states that the rumor is simply not true. It's a tough break for customers that were getting excited by cheap food, but the anniversary is still worth celebrating by taking the family out for some great burgers that are still really reasonably priced.
