Cumberland Avenue, nicknamed The Strip, features several classic establishments that generations of University of Tennessee students have come to love. However, as the university grows larger, each year brings new businesses to the area to cater to evolving needs. This fall, popular restaurant chains such as Whataburger, Jimmy John’s, CAVA, Taco Bell and others will be opening and ready to serve the community.
Whataburger
The Texas-based burger chain, Whataburger, is coming to 1830 Cumberland Ave., located below the TENN student apartments. As explained by Whataburger marketing manager Chrisy Lambert, the restaurant will feature 24/7 service with breakfast served from 11 p.m. to 11 a.m. Campus organizations can place large orders with Whataburger, which can be packaged in convenient boxes. Additionally, Lambert notes that the restaurant’s interior design merges the history of both Whataburger and the University of Tennessee.
