Canada got its first taste of one of the more popular American fast food chains earlier this fall season with the In-N-Out Burger Pop Up. A one day event that was sold out by mid-morning, the pop-up gave out wristbands to a group of very lucky people that ensured their chance of buying one of In-N-Out’s famous hamburgers, cheeseburgers or dual-patty Double-Double. They were available in Animal and Protein styles.
A great way to test whether or not the chain would do well north of the border, the In-N-Out Burger Pop Up was well-received by those residing in Toronto, Ontario. Held at the historic Ganzi Osteria building on Jarvis St, the In-N-Out Burger Pop Up also served up branded tees for those who wanted to walk away with more than a full and satisfied stomach.
