I understand completely. I lived in Southern California for just about a year and became SO addicted!! Now we live near DC - So far away!!! Yes, they are not nationwide. They are still a family-owned company (that precedes McDonald's, by the way!). You can find them all over California, 3 in Las Vegas, and a couple in Arizona. I just spent nearly $100 this week on the In N Out website buying t-shirts, golf shirts, hats, an apron, and a license plate frame!!
