Don’t miss out on the chance to bite into history! Whataburger is turning 75, and to celebrate this monumental anniversary, the beloved burger chain is cooking up a sizzling surprise for fans: a chance to grab its iconic burger for just 75 cents. But this juicy deal isn’t sticking around for long, and there’s a catch you’ll want to know before heading to the counter.
How to Grab a Classic Whataburger for Just 75 Cents
Get ready to sink your teeth into a throwback deal that’s too tasty to miss—National Whataburger Day returns on August 8, and this year’s celebration comes stacked with nostalgia and serious savings. To mark 75 years since serving its very first burger in Corpus Christi, Whataburger is showing love to its loyal fans with an anniversary special: the iconic #1 Whataburger for just 75 cents. That’s a huge drop from the usual $5 to $6 price tag. The offer is available exclusively to Whataburger Rewards members from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time and can be redeemed through the Whataburger app or website. Limited to one redemption per Rewards account, the deal includes the classic burger, with customizations and add-ons available for extra charge.
Whataburger Commemorative Cups Get New Designs
Whataburger is keeping the celebration going with a fresh round of limited-edition Commemorative Cups. The second series of these collectible 32-ounce cups kicks off on August 5, showcasing brand-new designs that pay tribute to Whataburger’s legacy. The rollout begins with a cup inspired by the iconic 75th table tent, followed by a sleek silver-striped design on August 12, and a nostalgic nod to the classic A-frame restaurant with a tribute cup on August 19. Whether you’re sipping with a Whatameal or saving one for your collection, these exclusive cups are only available for a limited time at select restaurants and online at Whatastore.com. Even better—more collectible drops are coming later this fall and winter.
Whataburger Throws a Hometown Bash for Its 75th Birthday
Whataburger is also throwing a birthday bash right where it all began—and everyone in Corpus Christi is invited. On August 8, fans can head to Whataburger Field (734 E. Port Ave) for a high-energy “Orange Out” night as the Corpus Christi Hooks take the field dressed as none other than the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits for Whataburger’s 75th Anniversary Celebration game against the Tulsa Drillers. First pitch is at 7:05 p.m., but the fun starts as soon as the gates open.
The evening will feature special appearances, including honorary first pitches from Whataburger guests, and a lineup of exclusive giveaways. The first 1,500 attendees will snag a limited-edition Whataguy mask, while the first 5,000 fans will score a signature Whataguy cape. After the final inning, fans will be treated to a brilliant orange fireworks display and a parting gift: a coupon for a free Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit.
“Whataburger’s story has always been one about people – the fans who’ve made us part of their everyday moments, the Family Members who serve every meal with care and pride, and the communities that have welcomed us like family for 75 years,” said Whataburger President and CEO Debbie Stroud in a statement. “As we celebrate this milestone, we’re not just marking time – we’re honoring the memories, the traditions, and the quality experiences that keep folks coming back. This anniversary is our way of saying thank you. Thank you for your trust, your loyalty, and for letting us be part of your table.”
