It’s not Trader Joe’s.

But the coming of an In-N-Out Burger to Flagstaff is still big news to local foodies.

Flagstaff Mayor Jerry Nabours confirmed that the biggest hamburger chain in California will be coming to Flagstaff in the near future.

A letter to Nabours from In-N-Out Burger Development Manager Kenneth Kim, which is dated July 1, states that the burger chain has submitted a site plan to the city for its first Flagstaff location. The new 4,385 square-foot restaurant will be located at 1860 S. Milton Road.

The Pizza Hut at that location will be reconfigured to fit both restaurants on the site.

In-N-Out, which began in California in 1948, has achieved almost cult status among fast food aficionados in the West. It has three distribution centers west of the Mississippi and refuses to deliver any product more than 500 miles, so the East Coast is still barren of In-N-Outs. Phoenix is the newest distribution location, so most of Arizona and Nevada are on the expansion target list.
