History

„Whataburger – A Texas Treasure“ (sign on a Whataburger restaurant in Texas, 2003).

In 1950, company founder Harmon Dobson opened his first Whataburger restaurant in Corpus Christi, Texas. The small, wooden kiosk sold the enormous burgers for 25 cents each, and before the first week was out, lines stretched down the street. Today, there are nearly 700 locations in 10 states with sales approaching $1 billion annually.

Special products

Whataburger has consistently added promotional and "limited time only" food products to their menu. Most of the limited time only products will be served for a set period of time, such as the A1 Thick and Hearty Burger, and the BBQ Ranch Whatachick'n. These products usually return on the menu again for a limited time after a few months. The newest product to be offered as a LTO is the Lemon Pie (as an alternative to the traditional Apple pie). Some of their promotion products sold so well to the point that they were added to the menu permanently. These products include the "Three Piece Chicken Strips" Whatameal and the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit. Occasionally Whataburger's famous breakfast taquitos are sold for 99 cents each for limited periods of time,usually from the day after Christmas through January.
