Century Whataburger Is Now Open For Business
December 14, 2007
The long-awaited Whataburger restaurant in Century is now open, serving up Whataburgers “Just Like You Like It”.
Lee Cartledge from Barrand, Inc. said store will have between 50 and 60 employees, most of which attended an employee meeting at the restaurant Thursday afternoon. Barrand is the owner of the Century franchise of Whataburger.
When NorthEscambia.com visited the restaurant Thursday afternoon, dozens of workers were busy inside and out putting the final touches on the restaurant.
Barrand owns Whataburger franchises across the Florida Panhandle and in the Dallas, Texas, area. The first Whataburger opened in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1950, and the first franchised restaurant opened in 1953 in Alice, Texas. The first Whataburger outside Texas opened in Pensacola in 1959.
The Century Whataburger is located at 8340 North Century Boulevard (near the intersection of Highway 4). It will be open 24 hours a day. Today’s “soft opening” will be followed by an official grand opening and ribbon cutting in the coming weeks.
