Oregonians take note: The most wildly talked-about California burger chain is opening its second location in our state this week.

The Grants Pass Daily Courier reports that a spokesperson for the company says the city's In-N-Out Burger is likely opening Friday, just 20 minutes north of Medford, where the burger chain opened its first Oregon store.

That's right: Even though In-N-Out is expanding its offerings in the Beaver State, Portlanders still face a four-hour trek should they choose to pursue a batch of Animal Style fries.

Oregon's first In-N-Out location opened in Medford two years ago to hours-long lines and more than one report of customers camping out for a double-double.

Construction on the Grants Pass location began earlier this year. The parcel near Interstate 5 was part of a package deal with the lot next to the Rogue Valley Mall in Medford, according to The Courier.
