On Aug 8, 1950, company founder Harmon Dobson opened his 1st Whataburger restaurant in Corpus Christi, Texas. The small, awkward kiosk sold the tremendous 5-inch burgers for 25 cents each, and before the 1st week was out, lines stretched down the street.
In 1961, Joe Andrews, Sr. brought his family to the recently opened Whataburger in Kingsville, Texas. After one bite, he knew Whataburger was something he wanted to be a part of. Joe was awarded the 1st franchise location shortly thereafter (the fifth Whataburger restaurant) which opened in Alice, Texas in 1953.
The company began enlargement outside of Texas in 1961, when Whataburger #19 opened in Pensacola, Florida.
