Burger fans were queuing from 9 am for a chance to experience the cult burger.* In-N-Out Burger is making a splash across the pond, it seems. The California-based fast food chain launched a one-day pop-up store in London Wednesday, and sold out of its signature hamburgers, cheeseburgers and double-doubles in just one hour, [according to MarketWatch](http://www.marketwatch.com/story/in-n-out-sells-out-of-burgers-in-london-hints-at-opening-in-uk-2016-09-21).

Burger business is booming in London — the U.S. chains Five Guys and Shake Shake have already set up shop in the capital city with nearly 9 million residents. In-N-Out, which has long refused to expand East or franchise its restaurants, will likely be slower to the draw. For now, British burger fans will have to endure what Americans living on the East Coast have relegated themselves to: [duplicating the double-double](https://money.com/in-n-out-burger-recipe/?iid=sr-link2) in their own kitchens. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/in-n-out-burger-london-pop-up/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Lifestyle", "item": "https://money.com/lifestyle/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Restaurants", "item": "https://money.com/restaurants/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Brits Are Loving In-N-Out Burger" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/in-n-out-burger-london-pop-up/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/in-n-out-burger-london-pop-up/", "name": "Brits Are Loving In-N-Out Burger", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2016-09-22T13:05:30.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/in-n-out-burger-london-pop-up/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/in-n-out-burger-london-pop-up/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2016-09-22T13:05:30.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "Brits Are Loving In-N-Out Burger", "articleSection": "Lifestyle", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2016/09/gettyimages-609848830.jpg", "width": 4032, "height": 3024, "caption": "Queues Round The Block For California Burger Pop-up Restaurant" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Kristen Bahler", "url": "https://money.com/author/kristen-bahler/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/kristen-bahler/#author", "description": "Kristen Bahler has spent more than a decade turning culture, work and consumer spending trends into conversation-driving stories.
