Whataburger


Whataburger is a beloved regional brand known for its bold flavors, distinctive architecture and rapid growth across the southern United States - and we're proud to support that growth.
Founded in 1950 in Corpus Christi, Texas, Whataburger promised to serve a burger so big that it took two hands to hold and so good that, after a single bite, customers couldn’t help but exclaim, “What a burger!”
Since that time, Whataburger has grown to include nearly 800 locations across the southern United States. Whataburger was known for many years for its distinct A-framed orange-and-white stripe-roofed buildings, a design element still incorporated in their restaurants.
Wallace Design Collective has provided structural and civil engineering services for more than 75 Whataburger locations across multiple states, supporting a variety of delivery models including prototype development, site adaptations, tenant improvements, ground-up construction and remodels. Each location, typically ranging from 3,000 to 4,000 square feet, presents unique site conditions and jurisdictional requirements.
