In-N-Out Burger files for a permit from Boise. It’s not for a new restaurant
In-N-Out Burger filed for a request with the city of Boise to improve a building. It’s not for a new store. But could it indicate that In-N-Out Burger has bigger plans for the Treasure Valley?
The California-based fast food chain opened two stores in the area in the last couple of years, including one at 140 N. Milwaukee St. near the Boise Towne Square mall and another at 3520 E. Fairview Ave. at The Village at Meridian, which was its first store in Idaho.
A third store opened in January at 16225 N. Marketplace Blvd. in Nampa.
In-N-Out just tried to get approval for another store on Ten Mile Road in Meridian, but its plans were ultimately rejected by the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission on Tuesday over traffic concerns.
The application was filed with the city of Boise by Pickering Firm, an engineering and architectural company based in Memphis, on behalf of In-N-Out. The request is for a 10,000-square-foot, $750,000 tenant improvement in an existing 30,000-square-foot warehouse sandwiched between Micron’s campus and Interstate 84 in Southeast Boise.
In-N-Out wants to add a break room, training room, two offices and storage space for store remodels, linens and information technology, according to the permit. The company owns the 3-year-old building at 8847 S. Federal Way, according to an Ada County Assessor’s Office record.
The project manager, Michael Regan, declined to comment when reached by the Idaho Statesman by phone on Friday and said he’d pass along a Statesman reporter’s inquiry to In-N-Out’s marketing department. The department did not immediately respond to questions from the Statesman on Friday.
Next door to the warehouse is a Cummins Sale and Service site and a Western Trailer warehouse, and across the way is a WinCo warehouse.
