Utah Law Talk

Okay, this post has absolutely nothing to do with any legal issues. It’s just that I wanted to express my exuberance that In N Out Hamburgers, the famous So Cal burger chain, is coming to Draper, Utah, just a few blocks west of my law office.

After I saw the headline announcing their arrival on the front page of today’s Salt Lake Tribune, I decided to scope the place out for myself during lunch. It wasn’t hard to find where they’ll be building. It’s between the Der Weinerschnitzel and Ruby Tuesdays, on the east side of the street. In the Tribune, In N Out representatives said that they picked the location because of the perceived demand for their hamburger products and because it will be easily visible from the freeway. With some of the big signs they have (think Las Vegas) I think they will handily accomplish this. It will, after all, be right there on the frontage road. I just wonder how they’re going to handle the trademark criss-crossing of palm trees thing. The trees seem to be doing okay in Washington, Utah, but here in Draper? Not sure how that’ll work out for them.

And as far as demand? I am completely confident there will be no problem there! I foresee HUGE lines the first day, week, month, that they’re open. I remember when Chadder’s, the In N Out copycat restaurant, opened in American Fork. Demand was very swift — at least at first — because we all wanted to eat something that was perceived as being close in taste and quality to In N Out. While they’re product is good, it sure ain’t In N Out! I think from the customer demand for their food that they got the message that there was a real need (okay, maybe intense desire) for their burger chain here in Northern Utah.

Well In N Out, I know I speak for many Utahns — especially among the transplanted Californian set — when I say that we are very excited that you’re coming. And like all good things, we can only hope that we have the willpower to partake of your delectable burgers, shakes and fries, in moderation! That’ll be the hard part!
