BRANSON, MO, UNITED STATES, March 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The City of Branson officially welcomed its newest restaurant, Whataburger, during a festive ribbon-cutting ceremony held today. Local dignitaries, Whataburger representatives, and enthusiastic community members gathered to celebrate the grand opening of the beloved Texas-based fast-food chain’s latest location.
Branson’s Mayor, Larry Milton, expressed his excitement about the opening, saying, “We are delighted to welcome Whataburger to Branson. This new restaurant not only adds another dining option for our residents and visitors but also brings new jobs and investment to our city. We look forward to a long and successful partnership.”

We look forward to serving goodness 24/7,” said Whataburger Operating Partner, Shekara Little.
As part of the grand opening festivities, Whataburger also rewarded the first fans in each of the Drive Thrus and the first in line to order inside, a $600 gift box including, among other things, a coupon for a free Whataburger a week for a year.
