Whataburger to Open First Nashville Area Location Wednesday

What a way to start 2022 with the opening of Whataburger in Hermitage.

The first of eight stores will open in Hermitage at 5055 Old Hickory Boulevard on Wednesday, January 5th. Doors open at 11 am.

“We’re excited to bring our big flavors, fresh ingredients and original recipes to Nashville,” said Whataburger Director of Operations Jon Barideaux in a release. “We’re looking forward to growing here and being part of the community.”

Barideaux, who recently moved to the Nashville area from Texas, will lead Whataburger’s expansion in the region. He and his team members have already been active volunteering in the community. Whataburger takes pride in supporting local schools and will establish relationships as it grows.

The Hermitage location will have 175 employees and is looking to hire 1,300 by the end of the year in the area.
