About the company

Whataburger runs a quick-service restaurant chain serving made-to-order burgers, chicken, breakfast and other meals to guests across the South and beyond. Its signature burgers use never-frozen beef on toasted five-inch buns, with toppings such as jalapenos, extra bacon and pickles made to order; most restaurants operate around the clock, 364 days a year. The company sells meals through its restaurants, drive-throughs, curbside pickup, delivery and online ordering, while original-recipe sauces and other foods also reach grocery shelves across the United States. Founded in Corpus Christi in 1950, Whataburger moved its home office to San Antonio, Texas, in 2009.
