“The Village at Allen is an ideal location for our expansion into the Dallas market,” said Carl Van Fleet, vice president of planning and development for In-N-Out. “The surrounding retail and entertainment venues will drive new customers to our restaurant. In addition, with a highly-visible location at U.S. 75 and Stacy Road, customers will be able to find us easily.”
The Village at Allen also includes the 6,225-seat Allen Event Center, the Allen Community Ice Rink and the Courtyard by Marriott Dallas-Allen at the John Q. Hammons Center.
