Big News for Red Bank: Whataburger Opening April 10!
Red Bank, hold on to your hats because Whataburger, the famous Texas-based burger chain, is set to make its grand entrance in town! The much-anticipated brand new location is coming to 5440 Platt Springs Road and is scheduled to open its doors at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 10.
Why This Opening is Special
This new Whataburger location marks the second store in Lexington County, following the opening at 888 S. Lake Drive back in February. Residents can look forward to the flavors that have made Whataburger a beloved chain across the U.S. Now, with this new spot in Red Bank, locals won’t have to travel far to get their hands on those hearty burgers and delightful fries.
But what can you expect when you pop in for a visit? The new store will feature a fresh design that honors the rich history of the Whataburger brand while embracing some modern touches that give it a unique flair. Imagine a cozy dining area where you can enjoy your meal with friends and family, a double drive-thru for quicker service, and vibrant digital menu boards that make ordering effortless.
A Splash of Local Culture
And it gets even better! The Red Bank location will boast a mural that showcases the charm of South Carolina and highlights the pride of Lexington. This is a lovely way to connect the Whataburger experience with the local community, making it feel like home to everyone who strolls through those doors.
Job Opportunities Await
Speaking of doors, this new fast-food haven will be providing jobs for approximately 85 employees. This is excellent news for those looking for work in the area. Whataburger is known not just for its burgers, but also for treating its employees well and creating a friendly working atmosphere.
Exciting Opening Day Perks
Now let’s talk about the grand opening itself! If you are an early bird and one of the first two customers in the drive-thru or dining room on April 10, you could snag yourself a delicious deal of free Whataburger for a year! Yes, you read that right! Talk about a wonderful way to start your day!
But wait, there’s more! The first 100 customers will receive a complimentary Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit, and the next 100 lucky folks will walk away with some special Whataburger merchandise. What a fantastic way to kick off this new location and make sure everyone leaves with a smile on their face!
More Whataburger, More Fun!
With this new outlet, Red Bank will become the fourth Whataburger location in the Midlands region, joining the ranks of spots in Irmo, northeast Columbia, and South Lake Drive. It’s safe to say that Whataburger is making a strong impact in the area, and residents are certainly excited for more of those signature flavors.
Currently, there are around 1,100 Whataburger locations scattered across the United States, and this brand keeps growing! They are open 24 hours a day, 364 days a year, only closing on Christmas, so you can count on getting your favorite meal anytime you need a burger fix.
Just a little side note to be aware of – this Whataburger is not to be confused with the locally owned What-A-Burger in West Columbia. These are two separate entities, so make sure to head to Red Bank for the authentic Whataburger experience!
So, mark your calendars for April 10, Red Bank! The countdown to tasty burgers and lively community vibes is on! Enjoy the deliciousness that Whataburger has to offer and bring your family and friends along for this exciting new chapter in town.
