What’s the Big Deal About Whataburger?

If you’re not already familiar with Whataburger, let me fill you in. This iconic fast-food chain boasts around 1,100 locations throughout the U.S., mainly in the Southern states. They’re known for their mouthwatering burgers and legendary honey butter chicken biscuits that keep fans coming back for more. Kentucky residents, who have either traveled to Texas or had friends bring back Whataburger goodies, are well-aware of this flavorful experience.

Exciting Opening Day Perks!

The opening day is packed with exciting surprises to make your experience even sweeter. The first two customers in the drive-thru and the dining room will be in for a treat—each will win a free Whataburger for a whole year! Yes, you read that correctly! But that’s not all folks; the first 100 customers will snag free honey butter chicken biscuits, perfect for kicking off your new breakfast routine.

Special Swag for the Early Birds!

Don’t fret if you miss the first hundred; the next 200 customers will walk away with some cool Whataburger swag. From hats to t-shirts, who doesn’t love some free goodies to flaunt your love for burgers?

A Perfect Location

The new Whataburger is strategically located on a busy stretch of South Lake Drive, which sees around 24,000 cars passing through each day, according to the state’s Department of Transportation. This prime spot is less than a mile north of Interstate 20, making it super convenient for those looking for a quick bite or a drive-thru fix. Whether you are commuting or just out for a drive, you can easily satisfy your cravings!

Open 24/7, Except on Christmas

Another fantastic feature of this new Whataburger is that it will be open 24 hours a day, 364 days a year, only closing on Christmas Day. That means no matter the hour, whenever hunger strikes, you can count on Whataburger to be there for you. Late-night cravings, morning breakfast on your way to work, or just a casual lunch—whatever you need, they’ve got you covered!

Whataburger is Expanding in the Midlands

Lexington will be the third location in the Midlands, with other Whataburger outlets having opened in Irmo last September and northeast Columbia in November 2024. Operating Partner Albert Ochoa expressed pride in introducing Whataburger to our charming city, appreciating its vibrant history and growing culinary scene. The addition of this beloved chain only enhances our already delicious food offerings.

A Friendly Reminder

Just a little heads-up for everyone in town: this Whataburger is different from the locally owned What-A-Burger in West Columbia, so make sure you are ready for the authentic Whataburger experience when it opens!

Conclusion: Mark Your Calendars!

As the countdown to February 6, 2025, begins, burger enthusiasts and fans of late-night munchies should mark their calendars! Get ready to enjoy the crispy fries, juicy burgers, and sweet deals that Whataburger brings to Lexington. We can’t wait to welcome this tasty addition to our community!
