“Birthdays are meant to be shared, and that’s exactly what we’re doing all month long,” said Whataburger President Stroud.
How Whataburger Began
Whataburger was established in 1950. Founder Harmon Dobson set out to create a burger so large customers would need two hands to hold it. He wanted to create something memorable enough to inspire customers to say, “What a burger!”
That idea became the foundation of the brand, which has continued to emphasize made-to-order food and customer service.
The Texas-based chain, which is now headquartered in San Antonio, has over 1,100 restaurants in 17 states. The brand has also launched a grocery line with its famous condiments. It is also looking to expand its digital ordering and Rewards program.
New users who sign up for Whataburger Rewards get a free Whataburger. They also earn points for future menu orders.
