Another Whataburger Delight Lands in Lexington, South Carolina!

Lexington, South Carolina, is buzzing with excitement as a brand-new Whataburger store officially opened its doors on April 10, 2025! Known for its deliciously big burgers and secret stash of signature ketchup, Whataburger has made a grand entrance, marking its second location in this charming town.

Location, Location, Location!

If you’re wondering where to find this latest burger haven, just head over to 5440 Platt Springs Road in the scenic Red Bank area. It’s only four miles away from the first Whataburger spot that opened up in February 2024 at 888 S. Lake Drive. Talk about convenience for burger lovers!

Charming Features Await You

Walking into this hot new spot, you’ll notice it feels welcoming, thanks to its spacious dining room designed to comfortably accommodate all your friends and family. Plus, there’s a striking custom mural that reflects recognizable local imagery. What better way to celebrate local culture while enjoying a hearty meal?

For those constantly on the move, you’ll appreciate the double drive-thru feature, designed to make your burger cravings even more accessible. And let’s not forget the sleek digitized menu boards that make ordering as smooth as can be!

Open Around the Clock

The new Whataburger doesn’t just cater to lunch and dinner diners; it’s open 24/7! Yep, you read that right. Whether it’s breakfast at midnight or a late-night snack, Whataburger has you covered, except on Christmas Day when the team takes a little time off to celebrate.

A Team Ready to Serve

Leading the charge at this new location is operating partner Belinda Martinez, who has assembled a dedicated team of 85 employees. The excitement is palpable as they prepare to serve up those signature offerings to the Lexington community. It’s clear that Whataburger is eager to embrace their new home and make everyone feel like part of the family.

Celebrate with a Bang!

To kick off the grand opening, Whataburger pulled out all the stops. The very first two customers in both the drive-thru and the dining room had the chance to score a tasty deal – a whole year of free Whataburger! But that’s not all; the first 100 patrons were gifted a delicious honey butter chicken biscuit, while the next hundred snagged some exclusive Whataburger swag. Now, that’s some tasty incentive to get there early!

Whataburger’s Growing Legacy

For those unfamiliar with the brand, Whataburger has been a beloved fixture since its inception in Corpus Christi, Texas, back in 1950. Fast forward to today, and they boast around 1,000 locations across the country. And guess what? More are on the way! There are plans to roll out over ten more Whataburger restaurants throughout South Carolina, with a new spot expected to pop up in Columbia soon.

More Midlands Locations Coming Your Way

This new Lexington store is the fourth Whataburger to open in the Midlands region, following other grand openings in Irmo and northeastern Columbia last year. The expansion is a clear sign that South Carolinians simply can’t get enough of those juicy burgers and crispy fries!
