A popular California-based burger chain is set to bring its iconic offerings to Idaho as plans for a new restaurant in Nampa take shape. In-N-Out Burger has submitted a pre-application request to the City of Nampa for a new location at 16225 N Marketplace Blvd., next to Wingers and the Treasure Valley Marketplace Shopping Center.

The proposed site, slated to replace the current TGI Fridays restaurant, would feature a 3,886-square-foot, single-story Mediterranean-style building with seating for 74 guests indoors and 28 guests outdoors. Additionally, plans include a drive-through accommodating 23 vehicles and parking for 46 cars, with a convenient entrance from Merchant Way. Pending approval, construction is anticipated to be a six-month endeavor, with proposed operating hours from 10:30 AM to 1:00 AM Sunday through Thursday, and until 1:30 AM on Fridays and Saturdays.

Since opening the first location in December, lines have remained steady at the California-based fast-food chain at The Village at Meridian, but the City of Meridian could be getting a second In-N-Out location, this time on the north side of town.

If this happens the crowds could lighten if the planned second location near the corner of Ten Mile Rd. and Chinden Blvd. comes to fruition. There are also plans for a future restaurant in Boise following a similar construction timeline.
