Whataburger Insight: New Century Administrator’s First Day Starts With Impromptu Breakfast Meeting
September 4, 2025
New Century Town Administrator Dave Murzin’s first day on the job started earlier than he had planned, meeting with local citizens at the Whataburger during breakfast.
“It was early, not even 7:30 when I got to Century, and I decided to stop by Whataburger for breakfast,” Murzin said. “Hey, I recognize you from NorthEscambia.com. Why don’t you come over and talk to these guys?”
He said the group consisted of longtime area residents who asked how Century could be restored to the vibrant community that they remember, with a solid local economy.
“They said we need industry in here,” he said. “And they understand that we need to do something for a speculative industrial building to lure that industry.”

Murzin said he spent the rest of the day, day one of his two-year contract, around town with Mayor Ben Boutwell learning about today’s Century and making a list of things to do.
“It’s a long list, and I’m still writing,” he quipped.

I sure would like to bring a business back into the Century area….I need some people to come along side me to make that happen!!!!
Lesson learned.
Go through the drive thru. Even if you will be in line 30 minutes.
Looking forward to significant changes, hopefully for the better. Well, I suppose that “up” is the only way they can go
