There's something wrong with their time line, or else there
was another chain with the same name:
"Eventually, in 1959, Harmon Dobson would expand outside Texas with
Whataburger #21 opening in Pensacola, Florida."
I distinctly remember eating at Whataburger in Gainesville,
Florida when they opened a new store on NW 13th street in
very late 1958. At 35 cents for a full quarter-pounder, with
lots of lettuce, tomato, and onion, on a 5-inch bun, it made
a lunch within my student budget. If I was feeling particularly
rich I would top it off by going across the street and getting
a banana split for 65 cents.
