A WEST Coast fast food giant has announced that it will expand eastward with a new location set to open.
The California-based In-N-Out has revealed it will at last have a store in each state that makes up the Four Corners in the Southwest.
Albuquerque, New Mexico will receive its first-ever branch of the West Coast favorite fast food chain.
The new location is expected to open by 2027, according to an Instagram post by the chain.
Arizona, Utah, and Colorado already have 100 In-N-Out locations, while Texas has 82. But lonely New Mexico was left out.
“It's an exciting day for our Company, the In-N-Out Family and our Customers. Stay tuned for more details," the post read.

“We’ve heard from many loyal In-N-Out customers there through the years, wondering if we would ever open restaurants in their communities, especially after opening locations farther to the east.
