Whataburger’s nine new Middle Tennessee locations
UPDATE: Whataburger is opening its first restaurant in Tennessee at 11 a.m. Wednesday at 5055 Old Hickory Blvd. in Hermitage.
Whataburger’s Middle Tennessee takeover is kicking into gear.
The Texas burger chain announced locations for nine restaurants, including a highly-anticipated Nashville site. Construction will begin on the first Middle Tennessee Whataburger, located at 5055 Old Hickory Blvd. in Hermitage, with a groundbreaking celebration on Aug. 3 and a projected opening later this year.
The company currently is hiring restaurant managers for the Hermitage location and will begin hiring for other positions in November. The nine restaurants will bring 1,300 jobs to Middle Tennessee by the end of 2022, according to the company.
“We’re proud to welcome Whataburger to the community and celebrate the groundbreaking of their new restaurant, right here in Hermitage,” Donelson-Hermitage Chamber of Commerce President Beth McDaniels said in a press release.
