On Wednesday, November 8 at 11 a.m., Whataburger, franchisee BurgerWorks Colorado, LLC and the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce will hold a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate Monument’s first location, set to have a first-of-its-kind dining experience for the brand.
The restaurant, located at 17889 Fat Tire Dr and scheduled to open in 2024, will include a spacious outdoor dining area, complete with a lush turf yard, primed for hosting various events, including live music and community gatherings. The exterior will also feature Whataburger’s signature orange and white while utilizing corten metal to blend in with Monument’s rustic charm.
“With our unique outdoor dining area setting a new standard for the brand, we’re eager to transform this location into a vibrant gathering place, offering fresh, bold flavors alongside a warm, inviting space that truly fosters community spirit and extraordinary hospitality,” said William Tamminga, owner of BurgerWorks Colorado in a statement. “We look forward to opening and introducing the Whataburger experience to our friends in Monument.”
Additionally, the restaurant will feature a double drive-thru designed for convenience and the brand’s classic interior, featuring custom murals.
Irving De La Cruz, who currently serves as Operating Partner at BurgerWorks’ Whataburger location on Dublin Blvd in Colorado Springs, will transfer his talents to this new location, bringing up to 100 jobs to the local community. Hiring is in progress for Restaurant Managers, while hiring for Team Leaders and Team Members will begin in the coming weeks.
