Whataburger

Whataburger is more than a burger chain. It’s a place that feels like home to more than 50,000 employees, called Family Members, and millions of customers. It’s a brand built on pride, care and love. It’s a place people count on in their communities. It’s a place where goodness lives. So now with more than 900 Whataburger restaurants across 14 states stretching from Arizona to Florida, road-trippers and hometown folks alike continue gathering under the big orange-and-white roofs for fresh, made-to-order burgers and friendly service.

Our signature community program, Feeding Student Success, focuses our charitable giving at the intersection of food insecurity and education through college resource rooms, scholarships, and philanthropy.
