Here's how to get a 75-cent Whataburger
It's Whataburger's 75th birthday, and fans are getting a treat: 75-cent burgers.
The latest: The Corpus Christi-born cult favorite is celebrating its milestone by marking down its classic No. 1 Whataburger — typically priced around $5.79 — to just 75 cents.
How it works: The deal is available 11am-8pm Friday, exclusively through the Whataburger app.
Add-ons and customizations cost extra.
Flashback: Harmon Dobson founded Whataburger in 1950. The burgers were 25 cents back then, according to the Texas State Historical Association.
By the numbers: What started as a single burger stand has grown into a national brand with more than 1,100 locations across 17 states.
Between the lines: BDT Capital Partners, a Chicago company, acquired a majority stake in Whataburger in 2019, but it remains based in San Antonio.
