The Clarksville-Montgomery County Regional Planning Commission has voted unanimously to approve a site plan for a new In-N-Out Burger. The development is slated for a 2.22-acre lot at the intersection of Wilma Rudolph Boulevard and Holiday Inn Drive.
Why it matters
The approval allows the fast-food chain to advance its expansion into the Clarksville market following the resolution of previous infrastructure and connectivity concerns. The project will involve the demolition of an existing hotel building at a prominent local highway exit.
The new restaurant will occupy a 3,890-square-foot building on a 2.22-acre parcel. The property was purchased by the restaurant owner for $6,950,000.
The players
Clarksville-Montgomery County Regional Planning Commission
This local government body manages land use, zoning, and site plan approvals for the city and surrounding county.
Jeff Bryant
He served as the applicant representative who successfully addressed planning commission concerns regarding the development.
The details
Applicant Jeff Bryant represented the project to the planning commission to address concerns about site connectivity that had previously delayed the proposal. The plan successfully moves forward with a unanimous vote to repurpose the site near I-24 Exit 4.
Timeline
The property was sold for $6,950,000 on August 14, 2026.
The site plan was deferred for further review in August 2026.
The planning commission approved the site plan on September 22, 2026.
Market Landscape
This move reflects the brand's continued push to expand its physical footprint into new regional markets through high-value real estate acquisitions. It positions the company as a major new competitor in the Clarksville fast-food corridor against established national chains.
Residents can expect the demolition of the existing Quality Inn at the I-24 Exit 4 location as site preparation begins. The project will eventually introduce new dining options to one of the city's primary retail corridors near the interstate.
The takeaway
The unanimous commission approval marks the end of the initial zoning hurdles for this site development. Investors and residents should watch for upcoming demolition permits as the next formal phase of the construction timeline.
