SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 412
WHEREAS, Whataburger Wednesday is taking place at the
State Capitol on April 16, 2025; and
WHEREAS, Whataburger traces its roots to August 8, 1950,
when entrepreneur Harmon Dobson opened a small burger stand on
Ayers Street in Corpus Christi; he started with a simple goal, to
serve a burger that would inspire customers to exclaim "What a
burger!," and under his able leadership, the business rapidly
expanded to include a number of locations throughout Texas; by
the end of the decade, he opened the first out-of-state
Whataburger restaurant in Pensacola, Florida; and
WHEREAS, Today, Whataburger is headquartered in San
Antonio, and the business operates more than 1,100 restaurants
across 16 states, from Arizona to Florida; in addition, the
iconic Texas brand employs over 51,000 people and serves millions
of customers nationwide; and
WHEREAS, Whataburger is truly a Lone Star success story,
and all those associated with the company may take great pride in
their contributions to the state's economic vitality; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That April 16, 2025, be recognized as
Whataburger Wednesday at the State Capitol, and that sincere
appreciation be extended to the restaurant for its generous
participation in this event; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
prepared for Whataburger by the Texas Senate.
Gutierrez, Menéndez
