Madison’s One-of-a-Kind Whataburger Delayed Again

Overview

Madison’s one-of-a-kind Whataburger is delayed again, with the new date announced as December 4.

Background

The much-anticipated Whataburger opening has been delayed several times. It was initially expected to open in early 2025 but has been pushed back due to a complete overhaul of the building and parking lot.

Unique Features

This Whataburger is different from others due to Mayor Mary Hawkins Butler’s request for an all-white sign, making it the only non-orange Whataburger in the US. The location at Grandview Boulevard will feature a white ‘Whataburger’ sign and outdoor signage.

Location and Previous Openings

The Madison Whataburger will be the seventh Whataburger in the area, with locations already established in Jackson, Flowood, Brandon, Richland, and Ridgeland.

Job Creation

While Whataburger officials have not said exactly how many jobs will be created with this restaurant, previous openings have announced up to 150 full- and part-time positions.

New Opening Date Announced for Mississippi Spot
