Whataburger_0810_1San Antonio, TX - Sixty years ago, Texas entrepreneur Harmon Dobson opened a small burger stand in Corpus Christi and called it Whataburger because he believed that's what customers would say when they took a bite of his big, fresh, made-to-order burgers.

In August Whataburger celebrates its 60th anniversary as a southern burger icon and as one of the nation's largest burger chains, with more than 700 locations in 10 states. To mark the occasion and to thank its millions of loyal fans, the company hosted "Orange Night Out" at most of its restaurants on August. Every dine-in customer who comes dressed in the company's signature orange will receive a free Whataburger.
