Whataburger is coming to Hazel Green on Thursday.

The Texas-based burger chain will open its newest Alabama location at 14751 U.S. 231/431 at 11 a.m.

Operating Partner Walter Davis and Whataburger franchisee MWB Restaurants employ about 90 people at the restaurant.

The location will initially offer 24/7 dine-in and drive-thru service, with breakfast available from 11 p.m. to 11 a.m.

In the coming weeks, curbside and delivery services online and through the Whataburger App will be available.

The Texas-based franchise operates in 14 states with more than 1,000 restaurants. It has expanded to several Alabama communities in recent years, opening a Huntsville restaurant in December, and others last year in Cullman, Scottsboro, Albertville and Athens.
