In-N-Out Burger has officially arrived in Colorado.
The California-based burger chain opened its first-ever Colorado locations in Aurora and Colorado Springs on Friday.
The brand-new restaurants were met with long lines of people waiting to get a taste of the iconic burger, according to reports.
A video from a reporter for Colorado Springs newspaper The Gazette showed a huge line of cars waiting to go through the drive-thru and another line of people waiting to order their burgers for take-out.

In Aurora, just east of Denver, the situation was similar. According to CBS 4, the line was so long it wrapped around a nearby mall by 10:15 a.m. and by 11 a.m., police said the line was so bad it was “impacting traffic and causing backups in the area.”
