Although not a done deal, In-N-Out Burger plans to open a restaurant in Longmont, a company spokesperson confirmed in an email Friday.
“We hope to open a restaurant in Longmont,” Mike Abbate, In-N-Out Burger vice president of store development, said in an email. “We’re currently in the development application process, so it’s still too early to say if, or even when, we will be able to open a restaurant there.”
The proposed location for the restaurant is southwest of the Colo. 119 and Harvest Moon Drive intersection, not far from Costco.
Longmont Acting Planning and Development Services Director Grant Penland said in an email Friday that In-N-Out Burger had a preliminary application meeting with city staff in September.
“As the next step in the development review process, prior to submitting a formal application for development, In-N-Out is hosting a neighborhood meeting,” Penland said.
That meeting will occur, online, at youtube.com/@cityoflongmont beginning at 6 p.m. on March 14.
Abbate said that when construction begins on a new In-N-Out Burger, it usually takes eight to nine months before the restaurant is completed and opens for business.
“Therefore, it would be premature to comment on a timeline for an opening date or when we will even achieve our development application approval,” Abbate said.
In-N-Out Burger opened its first restaurant in California in 1948 and expanded its footprint into Colorado in 2020 with locations in Colorado Springs and Aurora.
It also has several other locations in Colorado including one that opened recently in Loveland.
“We’re very grateful for the support we’ve received from our customers in Colorado, and we’re excited about the prospect of opening a location in the wonderful community of Longmont,” Abbate said.
