HUNTSVILLE — Mark next Tuesday on your calendar as the burger-lovers favorite holiday of the year. It is National Whataburger Day and this year marks Whataburger’s 73rd anniversary.
Whatacelebration!
To mark the occasion, there will be celebrations in Whataburger communities next week. From free Whataburgers, to relieving student school lunch debt in Whataburger markets, and even rolling out the orange carpet for some special fans and family members, the celebration has something for everyone.
The company believes hunger should never be an obstacle to a student’s academic success or prevent them from reaching their dreams.
Whataburgers’ charitable giving arm, Whataburger Feeding Student Success, worked with All for Lunch to relieve $73,000 of school lunch debt in communities across the Whataburger footprint this year. By partnering with All for Lunch, Whataburger said it ensures local programs get the support they need so students can reach their fullest potential.
Whataburger fans have been known to propose marriage over fries, bring their prom dates for after-prom shakes, wrap their babies in Whataburger taquito paper, and even create beautiful art inspired by the famous orange-and-white stripes.
National Whataburger Day honors founder, Harmon Dobson, who started the food chain over 70 years ago. The Whataburger legacy dates to the 1950s and is rooted in the bold flavors, hospitality and community connections Dobson fostered.
