Whataburger locations

Whataburger is a burger restaurant that started in 1950 in Corpus Christi, Texas. There are 700 Whataburger locations in 10 states. Whataburger remains one of the few chain hamburger restaurants that is not owned by a large corporation and has a family attitude similar to sandwich chain Jimmy John’s. There are rumors that Whataburger may be expanding beyond the 10 southern states where it currently has locations, but none of these rumors have been confirmed by Whataburger.

$1 billion worth of burgers

When Whataburger first opened, the burgers were sold for a quarter apiece. The burgers were built with five-inch buns and all-American beef. The goal of Harmon Dobson, the founder of Whataburger, was to have his customers exclaim “What a burger!” In the 60 years of operation, Whataburger has sold more than $1 billion worth of food. The 12 days of Whataburger promotion is expected to result in hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of free Whataburger items being given away. The chain will also benefit, with customers having a reason to visit a Whataburger every other day. The likelihood that the customers will order something to go with their free Whataburger item is very high, making 12 days of Whataburger a lucrative money-making promotion.
