It's not often we may envy other states. After all, we know that Montana is one of the best states in the country. But every once in a while we may look at another state and wonder why can't we have what they have.

As much as people try to downplay some national chains, there is still excitement when they open. Take for example Chick-fil-A. When their location opened in Missoula, cars were wrapped around the block. There were plans in place to direct traffic on North Reserve Street to make sure it didn't cause complete chaos.

Montana Will Eventually Get a Trader Joe's

There are a couple of franchises that people seem to really want in Montana, Trader Joe's is one, and so is In-N-Out Burger. Trader Joe's has said that there are plans to expand to all "48 contiguous states", so they will eventually be coming to Montana.

In-N-Out Burger is continuing with their expansion plans opening new locations in four states: California, Arizona, Colorado, and their first location in Washington state. According to Cheapism.com, Washington is getting two locations, one under construction in Ridgefield and another location is reportedly going to open eventually in Vancouver. Both Idaho and Utah have multiple locations.

In-N-Out Burger has been rated as one of the best fast food chains in the country. One of the appeals of In-N-Out is the simplicity of their menu. They don't offer many choices by design. I have to admit their "Double-Double" is a great burger. They also have a "Not So Secret Menu", if you are feeling adventurous or incredibly hungry with the 4x4 that has four patties.

For now you'll, have to continue to travel if you want to try to get your hands on an In-N-Out burger. But maybe one day in the future we can, hopefully, announce they are expanding to Montana.
