ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Whataburger<\/a> will open its new Orlando restaurant on Thursday, Aug. 6, as the Texas-based burger chain continues expanding across Central Florida.<\/p>\n

The restaurant, located at 12305 E. Colonial Drive, will begin serving customers at 11 a.m. following an opening ceremony scheduled for 10:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

The location will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with dine-in and drive-thru service. Ordering through the Whataburger app and website is expected to become available in the weeks following the opening.<\/p>\n

Whataburger is also planning giveaways and other festivities for opening day.<\/p>\n

The first two customers in line and the occupants of the first two vehicles in the drive-thru will receive free Whataburger for a year. The offer is limited to first-time winners.<\/p>\n

The first 80 customers in line and the first 20 vehicles in the drive-thru will receive Whataburger merchandise while supplies last. The restaurant will also distribute samples of its Summer Peach Whatafresher to customers waiting in line.<\/p>\n

The Orlando restaurant will be Whataburger\u2019s fourth Central Florida opening this year. The company opened three Tampa Bay-area restaurants earlier this spring and plans to open two locations in the Fort Myers area this fall.<\/p>\n

Whataburger operates more than 1,100 restaurants across 17 states, including more than 50 locations in Florida.<\/p>\n
