\u201cOngoing issues with crime\u201d led In-N-Out, the fast food chain, to close its East Oakland restaurant two years ago. The burger purveyor claimed<\/a> it was the first time in its history that it had shuttered a location.<\/p>\n

But now, someone else is stepping in, betting on the location\u2019s future potential.<\/p>\n

A Santa Rosa-based hospitality company bought the location, according to public records filed last week. Chandi Development, LLC, a division of Chandi Hospitality<\/a>, owns several restaurants in the North Bay, including Mountain Mike\u2019s Pizza, Chicken Guy!, a fast-casual chain co-owned by celebrity chef Guy Fieri, Beer Baron and Bollywood Bar & Clay Oven. <\/p>\n

According to Chandi Development\u2019s website, the family-run company was founded by the Chandi brothers in 2007.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFor over a decade, Chandi Hospitality Group has specialized in transforming overlooked real estate into high-performing community assets,\u201d the website reads<\/a>. \u201cWhat began with rehabilitating underperforming restaurant locations has evolved into a disciplined approach to property redevelopment, repositioning, and long-term value creation across Northern California.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sale was first reported by The Mercury News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the San Francisco Chronicle<\/a>, between 2019 and through the early part of 2024, the Oakland Police Department received 1,335 reports of crimes in the vicinity of the In-N-Out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Oaklandside analyzed crime data from 2023<\/a> and found that commercial corridors near the Oakland airport have been attracting crime for years, a common trend around airports across the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In-N-Out bought the commercial site in 2004 for $1,725,000. The restaurant was built in 2005 and is 3,220 square feet. Chandi Development bought the property for $1,800,000, according to documents filed with the Alameda County Recorder\u2019s Office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The fast-casual burger chain served as one of a handful of eateries \u2014 including Panda Express \u2014\u00a0 located close to the Oakland Airport, and right across the street from a Toyota dealership. Both the former In-N-Out and Panda Express are located behind the site of the former Walmart. The retailer\u2019s Oakland location was among a list of 269 stores that shuttered in 2016 due to low financial performance<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chandi Hospitality did not immediately respond to a request from The Oaklandside about its plans for the site.\u00a0<\/p>\n
