Burger fans rejoice this week because Friday, August 8, is National Whataburger Day. National Whataburger Day is a day to celebrate all of the best parts of this restaurant chain and the employees who make it possible. This day was established in 2023 when the National Day Calendar partnered with Whataburger, agreeing to celebrate the legacy of this restaurant every year.

Whataburger was founded in 1950 by Harmon Dobson in Corpus Christi, TX. The initial goal was to serve a burger "so big it took two hands to hold and so good that after one bite, customers would say, 'What a burger!" Hence the name: Whataburger.

In 1950, Dobson opened the first Whataburger location on Ayers Street in Corpus Christi, TX. His one burger stand has now turned into over 1,000 locations in 17 states.

Although National Whataburger Day has been a celebration for the past two years, this year's celebration is extra special. In 2025, Whataburger will celebrate 75 years of serving tasty burgers and fries across the country.

Whataburger is offering a special deal for its 75th anniversary. If you download the Whataburger app, you can get a 75-cent Whataburger at a location near you.

To get your Whataburger, first download the Whataburger app. Then, head to a location near you between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. local time. Customers can get a classic #1 Whataburger for 75 cents. The deal is restricted to one redemption per rewards account. Any add-ons come with an extra charge.

The Whataburger celebration isn't limited just to affordable burgers. The chain also saw this as an opportunity to help the local community. Whataburger donated $100,000 to local organizations in light of the recent catastrophic flooding in Texas. Additionally, the proceeds from some of the commemorative cups also went toward community efforts.

The 75th anniversary is a big deal for Whataburger fans, but the celebrations don't end there. The chain also announced that there will be a deal in September in honor of King of the Hill returning to Hulu.
