For the Rancho Santa Margarita residents that have been driving to Laguna Hills or Foothill Ranch for that In-N-Out fix, you’ll soon be able to save that gas money and stick around your own stomping grounds. After two years of discussions, according to the Orange County Register, today the Planning Commission gave the green light for the popular burger chain to establish a new location near the car dealership and the 241 toll road on Santa Margarita Parkway.
It appears that residents and city officials approached In-N-Out to establish a location in Rancho Santa Margarita. Much of the delays have been centered around the traffic impact for the city, because anyone driving by those burger joints will consistently see cars lining up around the block. Sounds like this location will be big enough to handle the demand.
My heart goes out to McDonald’s up the block.
No word on timing just yet, but whether it’s Protein Style, Animal Style, the 3 x 3, or the Double Double you crave, the wait will soon be over. As for you diet conscious, calorie counting folk…this could be a problem.
