Second In-N-Out will open in Oceanside

OCEANSIDE A second In-N-Out Burger restaurant is expected to open in Oceanside later this year near the northern entrance to the city.

The City Council unanimously approved the project on North Coast Highway, west of Interstate 5, during its Dec. 17 meeting. Council members praised the popular hamburger chain for bringing another location to Oceanside.

Im very happy that In-N-Out Burger has decided that this is a great spot because we think that this is a great spot for In-N-Out Burger, said Councilwoman Esther Sanchez.

When it opens, the 3,750-square-foot drive-through restaurant will replace a Carrows diner that opened in 1990 on the one-acre site. The building was previously home to a Bobs Big Boy Restaurant that opened in 1973.

The restaurant will have indoor seating for 76 people and outdoor tables for an additional 40 customers. It will also have 43 parking spaces.

The Carrows restaurant, which officials said was had been an underperforming location, is expected to remain open until construction of the burger restaurant is ready to begin later this year.

This is an excellent freeway location and we look forward to serving the community for many years to come, said Jim Lockington, a project manager with In-N-Out Burger.

The chain operates another Oceanside location on Frazee Road near state Route 76.

The biggest praise for the proposed restaurant came from Councilman Jack Feller, who said he used to dine a Bobs Big Boy, and would visit the new In-N-Out.

This is a great addition, he said. We couldnt ask for anything better on that piece of property. Im excited for the people of downtown (Oceanside), theyll be walking from all over the place (to the restaurant.)
