Here's how to score a Whataburger for just 75 cents this Friday
Whataburger fans are in for a deal that is hard to beat - 75 cents for a classic burger, but only for one day. As first reported by Us Weekly, the Texas-based chain is marking its 75th birthday by selling its namesake burger for just three quarters this Friday, August 8. You have to be a member of the Whataburger Rewards program, and you have to order either through the app or online to avail the discount. Walk-ins will not get the deal, so plan ahead. The deal is limited to one burger per person. You cannot stock up for the weekend. The birthday deal is only valid from 11 am to 8 pm local time. Show up early, or you might miss your shot, especially if locations start seeing higher traffic. The promotion lands on what the brand is calling National Whataburger Day, created to mark the 75th anniversary of the chain, which first opened in 1950 in Corpus Christi, Texas. Plenty of longtime customers remember when burgers actually cost less than a dollar. This throwback price is meant to tap into that nostalgia, even if it is only for a few hours. For those not already signed up for Whataburger Rewards, there is still time. Membership is free, and sign-up can be done directly through the app or website. Once registered, the offer should appear under available rewards on Friday. Again, the deal is app-only or online-only. No drive-thru or in-store exceptions. It is one of the chain's biggest limited-time offers in recent years, especially considering inflation has driven up fast food prices nearly everywhere else. For regulars and burger lovers alike, this might be the best time to grab a Whataburger-without making your wallet flinch. According to the official website, on August 8, 1950, Harmon Dobson opened a small burger joint on Ayers Street in Corpus Christi with one goal - to serve a burger so good, people couldn't help but say, 'What a burger!' That single stand kicked off what would become one of the South's most beloved chains. Whataburger built its name on fresh, never-frozen beef, toasted five-inch buns, and burgers made exactly how customers want them-extra pickles, grilled jalapenos, no tomatoes, whatever works. They have stuck with that same made-to-order approach, day or night. Seventy-five years later, the orange-and-white stripes are hard to miss, and the cult following only keeps growing. It is made fresh, never frozen, and fully customizable - big toasted bun, quality beef, and your choice of toppings, 24/7. It is mostly in the southern part of the US, with a strong presence in Texas, but you will also find locations in states like Florida, Arizona, and Oklahoma. Whataburger was sold to a Chicago-based investment firm in 2019, but the company's headquarters is still in San Antonio. On August 8, 2025, just order through the app or website as a Whataburger Rewards member between 11 am and 8 pm.

Whataburger Celebrates 75th Anniversary With Major Price Drop
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Whataburger is marking its 75th anniversary by offering a classic burger for just 75 cents on Friday, August 8, with a range of festivities and limited-edition merchandise to honor the burger chain's legacy across 17 states. This milestone, recognized as National Whataburger Day, celebrates more than seven decades since Harmon Dobson sold the first Whataburger in Corpus Christi, Texas. According to the Whataburger website the offer is digital-only and available through the company's app or website to Rewards members from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time. The promotion, which allows each member one redemption, is being accompanied by local events and product launches nationwide. Newsweek contacted Whataburger for comment via email on Friday outside of regular office hours. Why it Matters Whataburger's 75th anniversary underscored the enduring popularity of regional fast food chains in American culture. With over 1,100 locations in 17 states and a devoted following, the Texas-born brand continues to shape local identities, unify communities, and influence the competitive landscape in the fast-food industry. The campaign emphasized digital engagement, rewarding loyal app users and promoting community celebrations at select locations. What To Know The 75-cent burger offer, available exclusively through the Whataburger app and website, allows rewards members to purchase one classic #1 Whataburger between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. local time on August 8, 2025. This special deal included the classic burger—two beef patties, lettuce, tomato, pickles, diced onions, and mustard on a toasted bun—with optional customizations and add-ons for an additional charge. The offer is digital-only, encouraging customers to engage via Whataburger's app or website, and limited to one per account. Participating locations included all restaurants in the chain's 17-state footprint. Whataburger signage is displayed outside a restaurant building on Tuesday May 27 2025 in Houston, Texas.

In Corpus Christi, hometown fans are invited to Whataburger Field for a 75th Anniversary Celebration baseball game featuring the Corpus Christi Hooks and Tulsa Drillers. The event is billed as including giveaways such as limited-edition masks and capes, commemorative collectible cups, a signature anniversary game, fireworks, and coupons for free menu items. In May a man filed a lawsuit against Whataburger seeking $1 million in damages after alleging the company served him a burger with onions despite being informed he was allergic to these. The company declined to comment when contacted by Newsweek at the time. In July 2024 there were reports some Texas residents used the Whataburger's app to determine power outage locations as Hurricane Beryl lashed the state as their energy provider's app was offline. The Dobson family sold a majority interest in Whataburger to Chicago-based investment banking firm BDT Capital in 2019. What People Are Saying Whataburger President and CEO Debbie Stroud said: "Whataburger's story has always been one about people—the fans who've made us part of their everyday moments, the Family Members who serve every meal with care and pride, and the communities that have welcomed us like family for 75 years. "As we celebrate this milestone, we're not just marking time—we're honoring the memories, the traditions, and the quality experiences that keep folks coming back. This anniversary is our way of saying thank you. Thank you for your trust, your loyalty, and for letting us be part of your table." What Happens Next Whataburger's anniversary promotion highlighted the brand's ongoing strategy to blend nostalgia with digital innovation. The company indicated more commemorative merchandise, rotating menu specials, and further community events are slated for later in the year. With plans to expand in states like South Carolina and further leveraging digital loyalty programs, Whataburger is positioning itself to capitalize on both tradition and technology.
