National Whataburger Day Brings a Free Treat All of Us Can Claim

Whataburger has been around in Texas for 70 plus years. Over the last five years, Whataburger has gained a plethora of new fans with their expansion to other parts of the country. A couple of years ago, National Whataburger Day was established to celebrate the creation of the burger chain by Harmon Dodson on August 8 of 1950. This year, Whataburger will celebrate its 74th birthday with a fun freebie for those who have the app.

National Whataburger Day

Harmon Dodson opened the first Whataburger August 8, 1950 in Corpus Christi. Since that time, Whataburger spread across Texas then into the other southern states then began an expansion across the rest of the country. Their combination of great tasting breakfast items and burgers available 24 hours a day has kept the popularity of the Texas born and bred burger joint a favorite for millions of fans. To celebrate Whataburger's birthday last year, they decided to create their own day to celebrate, National Whataburger Day.
