The wait is almost over! The first Colorado Springs Whataburger will open at 11:00 a.m. next Wednesday, February 23. As the grand opening date for the location at 1310 Interquest Pkwy. quickly approaches, the Texas-based burger joint is planning two additional locations.
The other two Colorado Springs Whataburger restaurants will be located at 6140 Dublin Blvd. and 5905 Constitution Ave. If all goes according to plan, those two spots will begin serving customers sometime later this year.
“We’re excited to bring Whataburger’s big flavors, fresh ingredients and original recipes to Colorado,” said William Tamminga, owner of BurgerWorks, Whataburger’s franchise partner. “We’re looking forward to growing here and being part of the community.”
The burgers are made with 100% pure beef and served on a big, toasted five-inch bun. Chicken strips, grilled chicken sandwiches, fries, breakfast options, and more will be featured on the menu.
The new restaurant pays respect to Whataburger’s history and includes a state-of-the-art kitchen, an open-concept dining room and a double-lane drive-thru. The restaurant also displays custom interior wall art highlighting Colorado Springs’ hometown landmarks.
The drive-thru will remain open 24/7, and curbside pickup and delivery for online orders will be available in the coming weeks.
The Whataburger on Interquest Pkwy. will employee a team of 150. As the brand grows locally, Whataburger plans to hire 300 other team members to deliver the Whataburger experience.
