That Double-Double is just a few months away, close enough you can almost taste it.

And as the months progress, it will take progressively shorter drives to reach what could the be most anticipated restaurant to come to northern Utah.

Add Centerville to the list of cities where residents may order from one of the simplest menus in the restaurant business: hamburger, cheeseburger, Double-Double, fries, drink, shake.

Centerville's planning commission is holding a public hearing Wednesday on the In-N-Out's conceptual site plan. And within a few weeks, the restaurant could have a building permit for 475 N. 700 West.

Centerville is the just the latest city to begin the approval process for the California-based restaurant.

Northern Utah's first In-N-Out to open will likely be in Orem, where construction is currently under way. Other restaurants are planned for Draper, West Valley City, West Jordan, American Fork and Layton. One opened in Washington, Washington County, in April 2008.

The Orem location is expected to open sometime in October or November, said business license specialist Aaron Lyman. The site, 350 E. University Parkway, already sports a "coming soon" sign, which will likely attract attention when students at BYU and Utah Valley University return in the fall.

"A lot of people are excited," Lyman said.

In Draper, the restaurant is finalizing some details before construction begins at Draper Peaks Shopping Center, just off I-15 at 12195 South. In Layton, officials are still working with In-N-Out to find a prime location.

West Jordan senior planner Scott Langford said he expects In-N-Out to have a building permit this week. That restaurant has been approved for Jordan Landing, on the northeast corner of 7800 South and Jordan Landing Boulevard.

The restaurant will be a welcome addition in Centerville close to the Davis Performing Arts Center, which is currently under construction.

"You always want to get businesses that all your citizens can use," Snyder said.

Within three weeks, the restaurant could have a conditional-use permit and have its final site plan approved, he said. Construction could start fairly soon afterward.
