Time to read up on that "secret menu" because the popular regional burger chain is finally coming to Oregon.

The restaurant, which has resisted franchising opportunities or "going public," keeping the company's expansion slow, is seeking a location on Highway 62 by the Rogue Valley Mall in Medford, KOBI5 reported yesterday.

Jim Huber, the City of Medford's Planning Director, said the chain submitted a pre-application to the city to open a restaurant.

"They've got the right zoning so the next step would be the formal application that would be for what we call site plan approval," Huber told KOBI5. "If that gets approved they would apply for a building permit and start building."

The city is meeting with In-N-Out next week to discuss the pre-application. If everything is approved, all that's left is for them to do is set an opening date.

In-N-Out would neither confirm nor deny whether the company would be expanding to Medford.

The closest current In-N-Out to the Portland area is in Redding, CA.

More to come.
