The well-known In-N-Out Burger seems to have set its eyes on opening one of its restaurants in Northeast Portland after years of rumors and rumblings over potential locations in Oregon’s largest city.
In order to offer the fast-food business a chance to present a development proposal for a restaurant at 11270 NE Holman Street, the California-based company submitted an application on Thursday for a meeting with the City of Portland.
According to the application, In-N-Out Burger is considering constructing a 31-vehicle drive-through and a 61-car parking lot on the land.
The land is for sale, and the company is actively negotiating with a buyer, according to Mike Moonan, director of real estate for the parent company of PDX Real Estate LLC, which owns the Holman Street lot. Moonan, however, refused to name them.
The Oregonian/OregonLive’s calls and messages were not immediately answered by In-N-Out Burger.
According to Ken Ray, a spokesman for the city department Portland Permitting & Development, the planned meeting on January 30 is merely a first step toward the construction of a restaurant on the property.
“The early-assistance meeting is not a building permit or a commitment to build a specific development,” Ray explained. It gives the applicant an idea of all the requirements they will need to supply to the city.
According to Ray, In-N-Out Burger will have further information following the meeting to aid in its decision regarding the pursuit of a development permit.
The social media site Bluesky was the first to report on the meeting application.
In 2015, the burger franchise, which has gained almost cult-like appeal in recent years, opened its first shop in Oregon in Medford. Grants Pass and Keizer followed.
