In-N-Out Burger could come to the Imperial Beach area, the company'sΒ Vice President ofΒ Planning and Development Carl Van FleetΒ told IB Patch Tuesday.
Van Fleet declined to specify whereΒ the company is considering a new location.
"I can say that we are looking at potential sitesΒ inΒ the Imperial Beach-area but it is too earlyΒ inΒ the process to get much more specific than that," heΒ said via email. "We are certainly interestedΒ inΒ the area and would like to have a restaurant thereΒ inΒ the future."
In-N-Out has 12 locations in San Diego County including two nearby inΒ Chula Vista and National City.
Several Imperial Beach residents thought In-N-Out was coming to IB after a Burger King in the 1100 block ofΒ Palm Avenue closed in 2011. In February 2012Β Van Fleet told IB Patch the company had no plans to open a new location in Imperial Beach.
Earlier this month the owner of the property said a new Burger King is slated to open later this year.Β
