While construction continues at the new In-N-Out Burger location in Roseburg, company officials said it’s still too early to predict an opening date.

Chief Operating Officer Denny Warnick said the company is hopeful the new location, on Northwest Aviation Drive just east of Interstate 5, will employ around 50 associates to start with. Warnick said employment applications are accepted four to six weeks before a new location is set to open. Go to: https://www.in-n-out.com/employment for up to date information on open positions. .

Warnick said part of the company’s Mission/Purpose Statement is to “Assist all communities in our marketplace to become stronger, safer and better places to live”. The company operates two foundations – the In-N-Out Burger Foundation and the Slave 2 Nothing Foundation. Warnick said these organizations support nonprofit efforts that are making a difference in the fight against child abuse, substance abuse and human trafficking in areas served by its restaurants. In-N-Out burger underwrites all administrative costs of both foundations “…to ensure that each donation directly helps those in our communities who need our support”.

Construction began in late January. Company officials earlier said it normally takes between seven and eight months to build a restaurant and have it open for business. Due to supply chain issues, most construction projects around the area appear to be taking longer than expected.
