"In-N-Out announces first restaurant closure ever, citing Oakland crime"

[DrLeftover]

(The Center Square) – In-N-Out Burger announced it is closing its profitable Oakland location in its first-ever permanent store closure, due to unrelenting crime and violence against customers and employees.

“We have made the decision to close our In-N-Out Burger location in Oakland, California, due to ongoing issues with crime,” said In-N-Out chief operating officer Denny Warnick in a public statement. “Despite taking repeated steps to create safer conditions, our Customers and Associates are regularly victimized by car break-ins, property damage, theft, and armed robberies.”

The company also noted that the decision was not driven by financial concerns, and that safety was the overriding issue.

“This location remains a busy and profitable one for the company, but our top priority must be the well-being of our Customers and Associates — we cannot ask them to visit or work in an unsafe environment.”

Or they could, I don't know, actually enforce the laws on the books and keep the populace safe. That might work.
