You should have said it came to Toronto. It was a one day pop-up. All the In-N-Out Burgers are owned by the original family. It's my understanding there are no franchisees.
I have been to In-N-Out a few times. I thought it was pretty good and something regional to look forward to while in California.
Poutine in Quebec is great. Poutine in New Mexico is not. No reason to globalize everything.
In-N-Out is an outlier among burger places. They do the meat processing themselves and have one plant. All locations receive their meat from the central location by truck, which limits their potential reach. Also, In-N-Out pays their employees a lot more than other places, I'm told, and also empowers them more. So it's not quite the same cheap-labour model as other fast food.
