#466: Leaders in Customer Loyalty: Brand Stories | Blending Tech and Tradition: How Whataburger Builds Loyalty Across Generations
Description
From late-night honey butter chicken biscuits to meme-worthy social engagement, Whataburger has cemented itself as a beloved brand with a fiercely loyal fan base. Founded in 1950 by Harmon Dobson in Corpus Christi, Texas, the company was built on a straightforward promise: to serve a burger so big it takes two hands to hold and so good that customers exclaim, "What a burger!"
Today, Whataburger is in the midst of a multi-state expansion, combining its storied heritage with innovative technology and personalized digital experiences. At the center of this transformation is Keith McLellan, Group Director of Digital Customer Experience.
"As the digital customer experience lead, I'm really focused on leaning into that convenience culture and helping our brand understand the future state of our consumers," McLellan explains. "We're trying to drive the outcome of loyalty through just great food and great service."
