In-N-Out, which has gained attention for its animal-style burgers, plans to open at least nine restaurants statewide, Denver Fox affiliate KDVR reports.
🚨 UPDATE 🚨 IN-n-Out burger is now at a TWELVE HOUR WAIT. I repeat TWELVE HOURS. Traffic is still significantly impacted in the area surrounding the mall. They will close before you get to the window most likely. Meanwhile many other local eateries do not have a wait hint hint.

In-N-Out Burger locations will be open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. local time and until 1:30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
The restaurant reportedly closed its doors around a half hour after its scheduled closing time, according to Aurora police.
“FINAL UPDATE: The last car that will be served tonight has been ‘marked’ and is estimated they will be served around 2:00 a.m. We anticipate continued traffic impacts in the coming days so please use alternate routes, maybe you’ll find another great local eatery to support,” the police department tweeted.
There are over 350 In-N-Out locations. They are spread throughout just seven Southwest states. The company was founded in 1948.
The long wait in Colorado prompted a lot of attention. Waiting customers shared photos and videos on Twitter of the line and how the opening was affecting the locals.
