Story summary

In-N-Out Burger filed a permit with the City of Los Angeles last week to demolish existing buildings at 2927-2969 Sepulveda Boulevard in Rancho Park, West LA, to build a new 3,890 square-foot drive-thru restaurant. This location is just off the 405-10 interchange and will put In-N-Out in direct competition with Hamburger Habit, another California-founded burger spot located at 1123 National Avenue nearby. The current buildings house several businesses such as Honesto Café, Banter Bar, a hair salon, nail salon, boxing studio, and a tattoo shop. In-N-Out’s plans require zoning approval to continue using residential-zoned land for parking and permission for a drive-through adjacent to a residential property.
