"In-N-Out Closure Prompts Oakland Mayor Recall Effort Over Crime Concerns"
In-N-Out Burger's decision to close its only Oakland location due to high levels of crime has sparked a recall effort against the city's mayor, Sheng Thao. The company cited ongoing safety concerns for customers and employees as the reason for the closure. A group called Oakland United to Recall Sheng Thao has initiated the recall effort, blaming the mayor for the city's crime issues. In response, Mayor Thao emphasized her efforts to address criminal behavior and stated plans to work with regional and state leaders. Despite the closure, In-N-Out Burger will continue to support local charitable organizations in Oakland.
