How long will it take for Modesto’s newest In-N-Out to be built? Here’s when it should open
In-N-Out Burger confirmed in March it is opening a third location in Modesto, and construction has started.
The new restaurant is being built at 3401 Oakdale Road in The Marketplace shopping center at Sylvan Avenue.
Now that ground has been broken at the site, how long will it take for the fast-food spot to open?
In-N-Out Vice President of Store Development Mike Abbate told The Modesto Bee in September that it usually takes eight to nine months to build a restaurant and open it for business.
So, Modestans can expect a summer 2025 opening date.
What about traffic?
The city of Modesto made improvements to the southwest corner of the Oakdale Road and Sylvan Avenue intersection with the construction of the shopping center, said city spokesperson Sonya Severo.
There are no other plans to make traffic-control changes in the area.
Why that location?
Many factors contribute to the selection of new restaurant locations, In-N-Out COO Denny Warnick told The Bee in March, but requests and feedback from prospective communities are “definitely important.”
“While proximity to a freeway is usually a positive attribute in the selection of a future site, we have many locations that serve communities miles away from a heavily traveled highway,” Warnick said.
The company also considers proximity to one of its distribution centers.
The developing area of Oakdale Road and Sylvan Avenue is around 23 miles from the nearest In-N-Out Burger distribution center — on Harlan Road in Lathrop.
Modesto’s other two In-N-Out locations both are just off Highway 99, one on Sisk Road near Plaza Parkway, the other about three miles north at Sisk and Pelandale Avenue.
