Officials with In-N-Out Burger confirmed a new location is in the early stages of construction at 28320 Hwy. 290, Cypress. This address was previously home to Brewingz, which Community Impact previously reported closed in August.

Based in California, the fast-food chain is known for its burgers, fries, shakes and its “not so secret menu.” This special menu features options such as the “animal style” burger, which has a mustard-fried beef patty, pickles, extra sauce and grilled onions in addition to the traditional lettuce and tomato toppings.

The 3,887-square-foot building will include a drive-thru, according to Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation documents. Construction of the new In-N-Out could take less than a year, but Mike Abbate, assistant vice president of real estate and development, could not confirm an opening date.

“Once we break ground on a new location, it typically takes us 8 to 9 months to build the restaurant and open for business. Because of the amount of construction that still needs to take place, it isn't yet possible to nail down a precise opening date,” he said in an email.

In-N-Out was founded in 1948 and came to Texas in 2011. Other Houston-area locations are in Katy, Stafford, The Woodlands and the Willowbrook area. www.in-n-out.com
