In-N-Out has opened its second location in Stockton on Pacific Avenue, right across the street from Delta College. The grand opening was held on Sept. 17.
Located in the shopping center of Sherwood Mall, right across from the main entrance of the college, it’s now attracting students, faculty, and staff as a convenient place to grab a bite to eat.
“Beginning Sept. 17 2021, In-N-Out hamburgers, fries, and shakes will be available at our newest location in Stockton, California,” In-N-Out said in a press release. For more than 25 years, Stockton was home to only one In-N-Out location found on West March Lane.
At the grand opening of this new restaurant, Denny Warnick, Chief Operating Officer of In-N-Out, said the company is “really excited to have this second restaurant in Stockton because we opened our first restaurant over 25 years ago and we have so many loyal In-N-Out customers here.”
Warnick said the opening has been a long time coming.
“We’ve known for some time that we wanted to find the right location to build a second restaurant to better serve those customers,” said Warnick.
Warnick also confirmed the new location is hiring, with pay starting at $17 an hour. The near distance to Delta College and University of the Pacific may make the location desirable for young people.
“We continue to look for more associates and so the hiring will continue right past opening and those who are interested in employment can go to In-N-Out.com and follow the links to the employment opportunities,” he said.
Students here at Delta College are excited about this new In-N-Out.
“It’s a new and convenient place to eat in between classes without having to drive a long distance,” said Brandon Focaracci, a second-year student. He said that his favorite item on the menu is the Double Double combo with Animal Fries.
“I’m most looking forward to being able to go straight over there after class to get a bite to eat before work,” said Leslie Rodriguez, another second-year student. Her go-to item on the menu is the No. 2 with the classic neapolitan milkshake.
Not only are Delta students looking forward to this new food option across the street, but so are some of the administrative staff.
Chris Frymire, Delta Connect Center Manager, said he was most excited for this new location across the street because it is within walking distance from the Student Services building.
“Having it be right there and being able to walk in and skip the long car line is awesome,” said Frymire. He plans to walk over there to grab “the No. 1 with no tomato, Animal Style, with plain fries and a pink lemonade.”
