Whataburger celebrated its 75th anniversary by offering classic No. 1 Whataburgers for just 75 cents on August 8, 2025. This special deal was available exclusively through the Whataburger app from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time, with a limit of one burger per customer with a rewards account. Add-ons and customizations cost extra. The original burgers were priced at 25 cents when the company was founded in 1950 by Harmon Dobson. The celebration also included limited-edition commemorative cups and a hometown birthday bash event in Corpus Christi, Texas, where Whataburger was born. This promotion was part of a larger celebration of Whataburger's growth from a single burger stand into a national chain with more than 1,100 locations across 17 states.
