Business Details

Whataburger, established in 1950, is a prominent American fast-food chain celebrated for its fresh, made-to-order burgers and extensive menu offerings. While Whataburger has a strong presence in the United States, it currently does not offer franchise opportunities in India.

For entrepreneurs in India interested in the burger franchise business, Whataburger is an American regional fast food restaurant chain, headquartered and based in San Antonio, Texas, that specializes in hamburgers. Founded by Harmon Dobson and Paul Burton, it opened its first restaurant in Corpus Christi, Texas in 1950. Family-owned by the Dobsons until 2019, the chain is now managed by the private equity firm BDT & MSD Partners; the Dobson family still holds a small stake.
