The one on Millbranch in Whitehaven and the one in Frayser.
I used to eat at the Millbranch one with customers from Richards Medical back in the 80's.

Been a long time since I heard anyone say Richards Medical. Them and Danek were some of my biggest customers way back in early 80's. Both have grown to be major parts of the local economy and most don't even remember those early names.
They were one of our larger accounts. Along with MS Carriers, we had them both as customers when they first started. Grew with them both until they got too big for us in the early 2000s. I met Mike Starnes in a dark and dingy little warehouse, maybe on Florida, in the early 80s when they had about 5 office personnel and he was personally taking care of every detail.
I believe your right about MS back then. I believe they were on Florida, just north of Belz in some ratty broker building. Lots of good business in that area back then. Memphis Compress, Orgill, Decor Noel, RPS which is now Fedx Ground. Mr. Christmas, Drexel Chemical, Walgreens, Shulton all called that area home. Most have moved, closed or downsized.

Great breakfast wraps
Only been to Whataburger once and it was years ago in Texas. Had breakfast and was surprised how good it was.

I live 3 minutes from one. It is always as good every freakin' time.

Delusional.
I lie Tops, but not even on the same planet as Whataburger.
Best fast-food burgers in the world...hands down.
Great chicken strips and specialty burgers. The recent green Chile Double was the bomb !

I'm a firm believer Tops is the best "quick burger" there is...7 minutes and out the door.
If it's for lunch I want a regular cheeseburger...if it's dinner double cheeseburger.

I'm beginning to think you eat there every day. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Whenever I go into the Tops on Union she calls out my order before I get to the register. I have a meeting there every Friday...

I don't feel like I've been back in these parts long enough to be recognized, but I'm fairly sure they do. Dang.

I ate at that one about once a week for about 7 years.
They are everywhere here in Texas.
The home office is in Corpus Christi and I think they may have started there. So, they are all over Texas. I have not had the banana pudding milkshake yet, but it sure does sound good. Here is a link. https://stories.whataburger.com/go-banan...ing-shake/

They started in Corpus, but the corporate headquarters moved to San Antonio in 2009.
