Whataburger is an American regional fast food restaurant chain, headquartered and based in San Antonio, Texas, that specializes in hamburgers. The company, founded by Harmon Dobson and Paul Burton, opened its first restaurant in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1950. Family-owned by the Dobsons until 2019, the chain is now managed by a private equity firm along with the Dobson family still holding a small stake. There are more than 670 locations in Texas and over 150 in New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and the Southern United States, of which 126 are franchised. Whataburger was known for many years for its distinct A-framed orange-and-white-stripe-roofed buildings ( a maroon stripe is added in College Station). The first A-frame restaurant was built in Odessa, Texas, in 1961 and was the 24th Whataburger to open and was a historical landmark. The site was demolished in 2019 and a new building was built. The company's focus is on ground beef burgers, and include the "Whataburger", the "Whataburger Jr.", the "Triple Meat Whataburger", the "Bacon & Cheese Whataburger", and the "Justaburger". Also available are non-beef options such as the "Whatachick'n". Breakfast is served during morning hours, including biscuits, pork sausage, bacon, and eggs. From Wikipedia
