In-N-Out Burger Hosted a Pop-Up Shop in Dubai. Here’s How It Went

In-N-Out Burger is one of the most popular fast-food joints in Southern California. Despite its recent expansion to the East Coast, some locations still don’t have a central spot for Double Doubles and Animal Fries. Dubai, however, recently got its own location for one day only, courtesy of a pop-up shop promotion.

In-N-Out Burger and the Dubai Pop-Up Shop

According to The Pinnacle Post Gazette, on April 16, 2025, In-N-Out Burger visited Dubai for a single day. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., fans were able to savor the popular fast-food option at Switch Bowling in the India Court of Ibn Battuta Mall. The mall’s 20th anniversary celebration included this pop-up event, which gave the occasion a joyful feel.

Known for its devoted fan base and cult status among fast-food enthusiasts, In-N-Out was last spotted in Dubai in 2021 during a similar pop-up. Many people were excited to taste the traditional tastes that have made In-N-Out a California mainstay since its establishment in 1948, and the enthusiasm surrounding this event was evident. Fan favorites like the Double-Double burger and Animal Style fries were available at the pop-up.

Burgers needed to be purchased with a wristband, which were given out on a first-come, first-served basis. The event’s limited-edition wristbands will likely become a collector’s item, adding to the pop-up’s appeal.

This pop-up event may have been a possible trial run for a permanent In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Dubai. Although no formal announcement of a permanent location has been made, the success of this one-day event may open the door for further regional expansions.

The brand has a star-studded reputation because of public declarations of adoration from celebrities like Ryan Gosling, Kylie Jenner, and Gordon Ramsay. The burger’s appeal is only increased by the fact that such well-known admirers crave it, making the opportunity to sample it in Dubai feel even more unique.

Recent Disneyland Location

Meanwhile, back in the States, In-N-Out Burger recently celebrated the opening of a location near Disneyland on March 21.

The company’s website shows the new restaurant at 540 N. Euclid Ave. It was formerly a Marie Callender’s restaurant that closed in 2019. The new site is conveniently located 2 miles from the Disneyland Resort for those wishing to savor one of California’s most famous burgers.

According to The OC Register, the Anaheim facility will have a large 3,867-square-foot dining room, a drive-thru lane, and patio seating outside. The restaurant can accommodate 84 guests indoors and an extra 28 outside, making it a versatile space for huge crowds. Perfect for late-night cravings after a day at the theme parks, the location will be open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 1 a.m., with extended hours until 1:30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Since its establishment in 1948, In-N-Out Burger has become a West Coast institution, renowned for its unabashed cuisine, fresh ingredients, and devoted customer base. The brand has continued to expand with the new Anaheim location, which reflects its long-standing appeal in the area. In-N-Out Burger is still family-run and privately owned, with over 400 outlets in multiple states. It routinely receives excellent marks in customer satisfaction polls.

This new location’s launch is part of Anaheim’s continuous construction boom, especially in the Platinum Triangle neighborhood, which includes Disneyland, Honda Center, and Angel Stadium. Because of its close proximity to major attractions, the restaurant is well-positioned to become a popular destination for both locals and tourists looking for a traditional California dining experience.

Large crowds were anticipated on opening weekend due to the location and the loyal customer base of In-N-Out Burger. The Double-Double, Animal Style fries, and hand-scooped milkshakes are among the chain’s hallmark menu items that guests can now order, all of which are delivered with the same dedication to excellence that has made the brand famous for more than 70 years.
