Looks Like Whataburger Is Finally Headed Back to Tennessee (Hermitage, Specifically) | Eater Nashville

"After 2017's false job postings disappointed many, I'm relieved to see Whataburger confirm in July that it plans a long-awaited return to Music City: documents filed with Metro indicate a future Hermitage drive-thru at 5055 Old Hickory Boulevard in a building that previously housed an Applebee’s. Senior VP of Real Estate James Turcotte said the chain is targeting Tennessee for expansion and will resume franchising for the first time since the early 2000s. Founded by Harmon Dobson in 1950 in Corpus Christi, the Texas-born burger chain has grown to over 800 locations across Texas and nearby states, and most outlets operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week." - Delia Jo Ramsey
