Whataburger CEO Debbie Stroud said they’re excited to call Largo their newest hometown and that they’re bringing “plenty of orange and white pride, care and love.” <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we brought the Whataburger Food Truck to Tampa in 2024, the Florida heat showed up, but the energy showed up even bigger. We met people with long-held Whataburger memories and first-time fans who couldn\u2019t wait for more,” Stroud said, adding they promised to come back. <\/p>\n
The location opened on Feb. 12. The first guests in line got “Whatamerch” swag bags filled with exclusive company items. <\/p>\n
