Whataburger founder Harmon Dobson stands in front of his first restaurant in Corpus Christi, which opened in 1950. It was a plain “wooden box” building; Whataburger’s iconic A-frame, which Dobson sketched on a napkin, was first used in 1961 for a restaurant in Odessa.Courtesy / Whataburger /Show MoreShow Less
