Those simple ideas have guided us through more than 55 years of Whataburger® history, which began in 1950 when Harmon Dobson opened the first Whataburger in Corpus Christi, Texas. From day one, Harmon believed that valuing his employees would ensure the success of the company, and he was right. What was once a two-man burger stand has grown to over 650 Whataburger locations across 10 states. We are an uncommon company within the burger industry, because we've never compromised the quality of our products and we genuinely respect our people. We are a family owned and operated company and everyone who works at Whataburger - from the home office to the restaurants - is referred to as a Family Member.
We hire people we believe in. We train them for success. And we help build careers that last.

Simply put, we serve products of the highest quality, we do so with the best group of people we can find,
and we treat them like family.
