"Whataburger is a Texas-based burger chain known for its breakfast taquito and spicy ketchup-slathered cheeseburgers. It is expanding into the Southeast, specifically into Tennessee, as confirmed by James Turcotte, the Senior VP of Real Estate for the brand. The company will start franchising stores again. Harmon Dobson opened the first Whataburger in 1950 in Corpus Christi, and it has grown to over 800 locations, mostly open 24/7." - Delia Jo Ramsey
