Texas: the home state

Whataburger was founded in Corpus Christi in 1950 and is based in San Antonio. Texas has 787 stores in 326 cities. The cities with the most stores are San Antonio (59), Houston (56), Fort Worth (25), Corpus Christi (24), El Paso (24), Dallas (21).

So San Antonio and Houston each have more Whataburgers than most whole states. The history is on Whataburger facts and history.

The other 430 stores are spread across 16 states, led by Florida (54), Oklahoma (51), Arizona (45), Georgia (43), Alabama (41). The newest areas include the Carolinas, Kansas and Missouri, where Whataburger has expanded since 2021.

The full state list is on what states have Whataburger.

States without Whataburger

There is no Whataburger in California, Illinois or New York in the directory we read, and none in most of the Northeast, Midwest and West Coast. Nevada has a single store on the Las Vegas Strip. See Whataburger in California, Chicago or New York and Whataburger in Las Vegas.

How many are open 24 hours

Of the stores whose hours we read, 1,129 list a 24-hour drive-thru. Hours by service and state are on Whataburger hours.

East to west

The easternmost Whataburgers in the directory are in North Carolina, around Raleigh (Garner and Wake Forest). The westernmost is the single store on the Las Vegas Strip; after that, the farthest west are in the Phoenix area of Arizona, in Surprise and Goodyear.

That spread, from the Atlantic side of the Carolinas to the Nevada desert, is the widest Whataburger has ever been, but the chain is still mostly a Southern and Southwestern one.

Store numbers

Every Whataburger has a store number, shown on its directory page (for example, Store #608 in Dallas, where we check burger prices). Numbers in the directory run from #2 up to #1377, so the number is a label for the store, not a count of how many there are.

If you ever need to tell customer service which store you visited, the store number on your receipt is the quickest way.

Big cities with the most stores

Outside Texas, the cities with the most Whataburgers are Phoenix, Arizona (10), Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (10), Jacksonville, Florida (9), Pensacola, Florida (9), Albuquerque, New Mexico (9). In Texas, Austin (20), Tyler (15), Laredo (12), Katy (9) round out the top ten cities.

Per-state store counts and 24-hour counts are in the table at the top of this page.

Finding your nearest store

Each store has its own page in Whataburger's store directory with its address, phone number and hours. The menu is the same everywhere, but prices vary a little by location.

Our prices come from two named Texas stores; see Whataburger menu prices.
