While many within the city limits of Atlanta will bemoan this opening as "not Atlanta," residents of Roswell will no doubt be pleased to hear that a Whataburger to coming to their community. Several real estate sources with knowledge of the transaction tell ToNeTo Atlanta that Whataburger has secured the former Steak 'n Shake at 895 Woodstock Road for a new restaurant!
Given the relative newness of the building and likely challenges that Whataburger would face in getting a new drive-thru approved, it's likely the company will make use of the existing roughly 4,300 square foot structure.
Whataburger opened their first Atlanta area location in Kennesaw this past November. The company has said it plans to add ten more locations to Georgia in 2023, including those planned for Woodstock, Cumming, Buford, Monroe, Covington, Athens, Snellville and Dawsonville. The Texas-based chain has Texas-sized aspirations of having 50 new Whataburger restaurants open in Georgia by 2030.
ToNeTo Atlanta is actively tracking at least five additional Whataburger restaurants planned for Georgia, one of which would potentially be its closest to an ITP location yet.
