A slew of new eateries are coming to Mt. Juliet.
Mt. Juliet planning commissioners have approved a site plan for another Whataburger fast-food restaurant at 1325 Rutland Drive off Golden Bear Gateway and near Legacy Pointe Boulevard.
This makes at least a dozen Middle Tennessee Whataburger joints that were built in recent years or are in the planning and construction stage s. One of those is now under construction on the north side of Mt. Juliet .
A new fast-casual Italian restaurant chain and a coffee shop were also recently approved by city planning officials.
The site plan for a Whataburger on Rutland Drive was approved for a 3,305 square-feet building with two drive-thru aisles on approximately 1.2 acres, according to planning documents.
The area is seeing an influx of development that includes a future Costco store projected to open this year.
Mt. Juliet has another Whataburger being built on the city’s north side at southeast corner of North Mt. Juliet and Lebanon roads. An opening date wasn’t immediately known.
