Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office said that the governor had a conversation with the president of In-N-Out Burger after the fast-food chain was forced to shutter several of its locations in California over local COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

“As you may have heard, In-N-Out has closed a couple of locations in California due to vaccine passport requirements. This is what prompted the discussion about opening locations in Florida,” DeSantis spokeswoman Christina Pushaw told local media on Monday, adding that DeSantis had a “productive conversation” with In-N-Out head Lynsi Snyder-Ellington.
