Littletonians may soon be able to enjoy Double-Doubles and animal-style fries because In N Out is coming to town.
The Californian late-night dining export has submitted a pre-application request to build at the corner of West Mineral Avenue and Southpark Terrace. The property is part of the Mineral Place Development, which will also include a Costco, on the site of the former Lumen Technologies, Inc. office campus.
The proposed In N Out would include a drive-thru with queuing for 30 cars near the southwest corner of the property. Access to the site will come via private drives within the Mineral Place development that connect to the adjacent Southpark Terrace.
The building itself would be 3,887 square-feet with approximately 1,200 square feet of outdoor patio area. The indoor-and-outdoor seating would accommodate 130 guests, with parking for 57 cars available.
News of the pre-application was not met warmly among residents. A Nextdoor post discussing the In N Out was filled with concerns over traffic, especially the combined traffic from Costco and In N Out in one area.
Early Colorado In N Outs drew crowds, with lines reaching up to a 14-hour wait time for Aurora’s location on opening day. However, recent openings, such as Arvada’s In N Out, which opened in September, have been a quieter affair, with little traffic spilling onto the streets.
Colorado is currently home to 13 In N Out locations. The pre-application submitted for the Littleton location is currently under review by city staff and outside agencies.
