Tennessee just got its first In N Out, 25 miles outside of Nashville.
I'd thought it would be significantly cheaper because it's a red state, where they don't have the $20 minimum wage for fast food workers (In N Out obviously pays for more than that.)
Here's the menu.

Now here's the menu at the Hollywood In N Out (the closest by me, though I don't live near there). This is 7 months ago, but the price is probably close. (Yes, I know prices vary by location.)

A double double, cheeseburger, hamburger and fries x 9.75% local sales tax in Lebanon, Tennessee = $16.85
A double double, cheeseburger, hamburger and fries x 9.75% local sales tax in Hollywood, California = $18.22
So you're saving $1.37 buying all that in Tennessee.
The U.S. consumer uses drive thrus and loves them. I’ll stop building drive thrus when customers stop showing up.

In-N-Out Burger is so popular it outperforms giants like McDonald’s and Burger Kind in markets despite having a fraction of the locations
