A Landmark Anniversary
Founded by Harmon Dobson in 1950, Whataburger has grown to more than 1,000 locations across 14 states. Known for its orange-and-white striped A-frame restaurants and customizable burgers, the chain has developed a devoted following, particularly in Texas and the South.
The 75th anniversary comes amid a wave of nostalgia-themed fast-food promotions this summer, as brands look to reward loyal customers and spark viral social media buzz.
Tips for Scoring the Deal
- Go early: Lines are expected to be long, especially during lunch and dinner hours.
- Use the app: Mobile ordering can help you skip the line and secure your burgers before the promotion ends.
- Check your location: Not all restaurants may participate, so confirm before heading out.
With prices at just 75 cents — the cost of a burger in the 1960s — Whataburger fans have a rare chance to celebrate the brand’s history without breaking the bank.
