Whataburger turned 74 on Thursday – so to end the week, we set our eyes on year 75, with a big announcement about our next market. Our Whataburger Food Truck rolled into Tampa, Florida Friday morning with a taste of what’s to come! We’ll see you there in 2026!

There's pride in every Whataburger.
About us
Over six decades ago, an adventurous and determined entrepreneur named Harmon Dobson had a bold idea: to serve a burger so big that it took two hands to hold, and so good that after a single bite customers couldn't help but exclaim, “What a burger!” He named his humble burger stand, located on Ayers Street in Corpus Christi, Texas, “Whataburger.” Our founder's original vision still inspires everything we do. Each and every Whataburger is still made to order—when it's ordered. We still greet our customers with a smile 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And while we now serve hot, fresh food at nearly 800 Whataburger restaurants from Arizona to Florida, that burger stand in Corpus Christi is never far from our hearts. From two original employees in Corpus Christi to over 36,000 across 10 states, Whataburger is more successful than ever. In 2015, the company achieved $2 billion in sales. Whataburger has been recognized as the top performer in Nation’s Restaurant News’ Social 200 which spotlights companies with the highest social engagement. In 2016, Whataburger earned the COEX Innovation Award for Marketing and Service for a National Chain. Our success and industry recognition along with the commitment of our employees, who we like to refer to as our Family Members, demonstrates the strength of our company and brand. Whataburger continues to strive for excellence as and is poised for continued growth and success.

We celebrated National Whataburger Day across our footprint yesterday, and you could say the Vibes were immaculate in Yukon, Oklahoma, as our Chief Administrative Officer Alexander Ivannikov celebrated with our Vibe Restaurant group franchisees, Michael Trifari, President and CEO, and Key Operator Charla Saberi-Nikou.

For Whataburger’s Birthday week, we are celebrating the only way we know how – by giving back to our communities. Volunteers from our home office rolled up their sleeves and got to work in the community kitchen and warehouse at the San Antonio Food Bank today. We’re proud to partner with the Food Bank through our Feeding Student Success program.

As Whataburger continues to celebrate our Birthday week, what’s a party without good friends? Whataburger of Alice became our first franchisee in 1953, and they remain our valued partners today. Chief Administrative Officer Alexander Ivannikov visited with Whataburger of Alice President Kathy Reese to hear how one meal kicked off a relationship that’s spanned more than seven decades.
