Popular burger chain taps McDonald’s exec to destroy rivals
A popular burger chain hires a former McDonald's executive to boost growth.

Whataburger is an American fast food chain, and Texans are proud and joyful. The first location opened in 1950 as a humble burger stand in Corpus Christi, Texas, and since then, it has built over 1,100 restaurants in the U.S. and expanded across 16 states.
Those who grew up in Texas share the nostalgia and familiarity of stepping into a Whataburger. No matter where you may be, this restaurant is ready to receive its customers with open arms, which oddly enough always feels like returning home, something many chains have tried to achieve but have yet to obtain.
