If this Wednesday seems wackier than most, especially on South Kerr Boulevard, there’s good reason. Sallisaw’s first Whataburger opens at 11 a.m. today at 502 S. Kerr Boulevard.

While the long-anticipated opening is big news, even bigger news is that for today’s opening, the first customers in each drive-thru lane and in line for the dining room received a Whataburger gift basket.
Wow, free merch AND a Whataburger!
