Whataburger, Inc.
 PROFILE
When you see that familiar orange and white roof, you know you're in for a Whataburger. The more than 560-unit strong hamburger chain stretches across seven southern and southwestern states and Mexico. Open 24 hours a day, Whataburger restaurants also serve breakfast items (taquitos, pancakes), fajitas, chicken, fish, and salads. Loyal Whataburger fans also can don the company's line of apparel sporting the chain's logo and dress their kids in Whatakids duds. The late Harmon Dobson founded Whataburger in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1950. His family (including Dobson's son, president and CEO Thomas Dobson) owns the company.
