Whataburger at 5855 Sherwood Way in San Angelo, Texas.

Whataburger is celebrating its 75th birthday this week by offering customers 75-cent burgers on Friday Aug. 8.

The Texas burger institution said in a recent news release that the offer can be redeemed exclusively online and through its app for the #1 classic hamburger from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time. The offer is limited to one hamburger per customer with a Whataburger rewards account.

"This anniversary is our way of saying thank you. Thank you for your trust, your loyalty, and for letting us be part of your table," Whataburger President and CEO Debbie Stroud said in the news release.

The company debuted the second collection of its limited-edition Whataburger Commemorative Cups ahead of the anniversary on Aug. 5.

The chain operates over 1,100 restaurants in 17 states, particularly in Texas, the South, and the Southwest.

The company said in the press release that it will have an anniversary celebration in its hometown of Corpus Christi that coincides with the offer.

Whataburger fans are invited to join the festivities at Whataburger Field on Aug. 8 for an "Orange Out" night as the Corpus Christi Hooks, the Houston Astros' AA affiliate, will take on the Tulsa Drillers, the Los Angeles Dodgers' AA affiliate.

The Hooks will play as the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits for the 75th Anniversary Celebration game. The first 1,500 fans through the gates will receive a limited-edition Whataguy mask, and the first 5,000 will score a signature Whataguy cape.

The celebration ends with a "dazzling orange fireworks show" and a sendoff that includes a coupon for a free Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit on the way out.

"As we celebrate this milestone, we’re not just marking time - we’re honoring the memories, the traditions, and the quality experiences that keep folks coming back," Stroud said.
