TEXAS — There's a new holiday, at least according to Texas burger chain Whataburger.
The San Antonio-based eatery is celebrating National Whataburger Day by giving away free Whataburgers on Tuesday, Aug. 8.
The "holiday" celebrates the brand's 73rd birthday.
Whataburger said it's recognizing the loyalty of its fanbase and wants to give back in a special way this year.
“Whataburger fans are the real deal. They wrap their babies in Whataburger taquito paper, propose marriage over fries, bring their prom dates for after-prom shakes, and even create beautiful art inspired by our orange-and-white stripes,” the company wrote in a statement. “It’s a love unlike any other — and one we think deserves to be celebrated on a national stage.”
If you want to get your hands on a free famous Whataburger at participating locations, here’s how:
- Download the free Whataburger app (the free Whataburger is only being given to members)
- Create an account. It is free to sign up.
- You also must have placed an order, at least once, within the past 12 months in order to be eligible to receive the deal
- Redeem the one-time digital offer within the app
If you visit in person on Whataburger’s birthday, you could also have the chance to receive an inaugural National Whataburger Day table tent.
The burger chain said the deals don’t stop at National Whataburger Day. Some lucky fans will have an opportunity to get up close and personal.
“We’ll be rolling out the orange carpet for some of our most passionate fans and Family Members by inviting them to Whataburger’s Home Office in San Antonio, Texas, for a behind-the-scenes peek at what we’ve got cooking,” the company said.
