Editor's Note: This story originally contained an error. A miscommunication at the Tulsa World resulted in an editor thinking a rumor that the restaurant was coming to Tulsa had been confirmed. It had not.

A banner in an empty lot in midtown Tulsa proclaims the arrival of a highly anticipated restaurant chain.

The vinyl sign, at the site of a Whataburger that was torn down after tornado damage, includes a certain iconic yellow arrow and the words "In-N-Out Burger here soon."

But it was a prank, according to the popular burger chain.

"We just became aware of the rumors about In-N-Out Burger coming to Tulsa and unfortunately they are not true," said Carl Arena, vice president of real estate and development for the chain, in a statement. "We grow pretty slowly here at In-N-Out and, while we are always looking for new opportunities and potential locations, we are not currently pursuing anything in Tulsa."
