PHOENIX - s4story -- In-N-Out burger chain is one of the most well-loved restaurants in the country. But not only is this a great source of burgers and fries, but the story of how the restaurant got to where it is now is a great source of financial lessons. Read Part 1 of the In-N-Out Story on the Trajan blog to get the full story.

In-N-Out has always been owned by or for the benefit of the founders, Harry & Esther Snyder, or their heirs, which is very unique for such a large business. This privately owned setup has allowed In-N-Out to manage more leadership transitions than one would expect.

The original restaurant was created and owned by Harry and Esther Snyder. Unfortunately, Harry passed away from lung cancer in 1976. Their youngest son, Rich, took over the company after that until his untimely death in 1993, when the older son, Rich took over. In 1999, Esther became the company leader, and in 2010, Lynsi (Snyder) Martinez took over leadership of In-N-Out.
