The California burger chain has not yet released a timeline for the opening, but the new location will be its fourth outpost in San Antonio. It will open in the Merc, an upcoming mixed-use development currently under construction on UTSA Boulevard.
The Merc is a 112-acre center with multi-family housing, golf, a beer garden and food trucks. Eventually, the $350 million build will also include 1,600 apartments, 200,000 square feet of retail and commercial space and outdoor amenities like pickleball and an ice house.
In-N-Out is joining a line of restaurants that include açai bowl chain Pure Green, Hawaiian Bros. Island Grill and a new sushi concept from the founders of Wild Goji. All the restaurants are scheduled to open in 2027.
The goal is to create a new walkable community similar to live-work developments like Austin’s Domain.
“Northwest San Antonio continues to be one of the most dynamic growth corridors in Texas, and The Merc is being built to meet that momentum with something more intentional,” project developer Rob Schumacher said in June.
In-N-Out — a burger joint known for its griddled patties, animal-style fries and “secret” menu — first came to San Antonio in 2014. It has locations on Culebra Road, U.S. 281 and in Windcrest.
