Whataburger Chain Could Be For Sale
May 20, 2019
Whataburger, the Texas-based fast food chain, could be for sale. They’ve hired investment and banking giant Morgan Stanley to assist is a possible sale or other options.
“Our company is growing and is always attractive to investors, and we’ve brought in Morgan Stanley to help us explore our options,” the company said in a statement to the San Antonio Business Journal. “We have always evaluated the opportunities that can accelerate growth and maintain the success of our brand, and we will continue to do so in the future.”
Reports indicate the chain could be worth over $6 billion.

Well I guess I should go ahead and buy it up….Lord knows I’d save money in the long run!
They could do franchise like Chic-Fil-A does & as EVERYONE knows, their business isn’t hurting! Even closing on Sundays & not supporting the lastest & greatest trends (if you will)… So let’s ALL pray that something GOOD comes from this, for the owners AND US. the customers! Whataburger is also a Christian company.
Remembering WAY Back to the days when the Whataburgers were served up hot and with so much juice running from them it took an extra napkin to clean up.
They’re still my favorite – add jalapenos and cheese, extra mayo – hold the mustard – yet they were better back then.
Sounds like if they do sell they’re not going out of business and the changes have taken place over the DECADES for sure.
Want me a Whataburger like they were back in the day.
Yes and i will have a 3 piece chicken dinner with root beer and gravy
Thanks Mick
#7 w/cheese no onions

Side of gravy
There will be a lot of mad Texans if they sell.
Mick, while your at it please pick me up a grilled chicken
sandwich with just lettuce and tomato and a large diet coke.
Thanks
Hey Mick get me a large chocolate shake…thanks
All this talk – I’ll have a double meat w/cheese, keep the mustard add mayo, grilled onions, a large fry, and drink…
I hope they don’t sell. I love their burgers, onion rings, and so forth. I get a whole lot more for my money, then I do at other burger chains. If they keep things the way they are, fine. If not and they start changing their recipe, prices and so forth, I won’t be going there anymore. And I’m sure they’ll loose a lot more customers if they do.
Denbrock prices are already high.
If they sell, the day after look for higher prices and reduced customer service.
Unfortunately, if Whataburger® is sold, it will probably lose it’s uniqueness and become as ho-hum as the other chains.
