TAMPA, Fla — The popular Texas burger chain Whataburger is coming to Tampa, and its team celebrated with a special pop-up event.
Officials announced that the Tampa Bay area can get its Whataburger fix at its newest location, set to open in Tampa in 2026.
On Friday, Aug. 9, Whataburger was giving free burgers and fries to the first 150 guests via its food truck in downtown Tampa.
Guests were able to find the food truck to get an early taste at Lykes Gaslight Square Park, located at 400 North Franklin Street, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
