Ribbon Cutting Whataburger
Wednesday, May 24, 2023
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Ribbon Cut at 4:30 pm
Whataburger
1140 E. Baseline Rd. Mesa, AZ 85204
Join us for this great opportunity to meet new local businesses and celebrate the success of Whataburger . The community is invited to attend and celebrate this great day!
About Whataburger
More than seven decades ago, an adventurous and determined entrepreneur named Harmon Dobson had a bold idea: to serve a burger so big that it took two hands to hold, and so good that after a single bite customers couldn't help but exclaim, “What a burger!” Harmon Dobson named his humble burger stand, located on Ayers Street in Corpus Christi, Texas, “Whataburger.”
Today, the founder's original vision still inspires everything they do. Each and every Whataburger® is still made to order—when it's ordered. They still use 100% pure, never-frozen beef and serve it on a big, toasted five-inch bun. They still greet their customers with a smile 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And while they now serve hot, fresh food at more than 890 Whataburgers across the country, that burger stand in Corpus Christi is never far from our hearts.
