Whataburger offers BOGO Valentine's special
February 7, 2010
Whataburger is offering customers a Valentine's Day deal for couples featuring its popular limited time menu item, the Patty Melt Whatameal.
From 5 to 10 p.m. Feb. 14, any couple who purchases a Patty Melt Whatameal will receive a second Patty Melt Whatameal free for dine-in service. Customers can even send a special e-vite from www.whataburger.com to ask their Valentines to join them for "I Love Patty Melt" night.
Whataburger fans who found love under the orange W are the inspiration for the burger chain's "I Love Patty Melt" promotion. Customer John Miller met his wife Linda at a San Antonio, Texas, Whataburger in 1981 when she was an assistant manager and he stopped in for breakfast. Their first date followed over a Whataburger breakfast and two weeks later, they became engaged. The couple still celebrates every Nov. 28 at "their" Whataburger and in 2008, arrived to find a reserved table prepared for them by the restaurant team with white linens, flowers, cake and matching his-and-her Whataburger-branded Fossil watches.
"We've heard so many great Whataburger love stories from our customers, and our 'I Love Patty Melt' promotion is our way of thanking them for sharing their stories and hopefully inspiring some new ones," said Rich Scheffler, Whataburger Restaurants LP group director of marketing.
Whataburger's tasty Patty Melt, available through March 1, is made with two 100 percent fresh, never frozen, American beef patties, topped with two slices of Monterey Jack cheese, grilled onions and a creamy pepper sauce between two slices of Texas toast. The meal comes with fries, but customers can substitute a side salad for an additional charge. The Patty Melt first debuted on the menu in 2008.
Whataburger has more than 700 locations in 10 states across the Southern United States.
