There's no denying that many Coloradans love Whataburger. The mention of the state getting another one can send some into a tither; others aren't as excited.

Whataburger Bringing 9th Location to Southern Colorado

With all the burger joints that you'll find in Colorado, the big chains, the Mom & Pop restaurants, Colorado's own Smashburger, Coloradans still get a bump of excitement over a new Whataburger coming to Colorado.

The first Whataburger opened in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1950. The first Colorado location, in Colorado Springs on Interquest Parkway, opened in February of 2022.

Little Fountain, Colorado, will be getting its own Whataburger. With about 30,000 people in the town, there are more than a few places to get a burger including Culvers and Smashburger. Whataburger just does seem to love the Colorado Springs area.

As of spring of 2025, there are six Whataburgers in Colorado Springs, and one in Monument. In September of 2024, we let you know a Whataburger would be coming to Pueblo.  Maybe it's because Southern Colorado is closer to Texas is the reason all the new ones are going there.

A coworker did travel from Northern Colorado to one of the very first Whataburger location when it opened; he was not overly impressed. But then, driving 90 minutes down I-25 for a burger, your anticipation is bound to outweigh the results.

On March 17, 2025, the Facebook group, Remember When: Colorado, posted a photo of Whataburger's sign for the Fountain construction:

The post quickly garnered nearly 200 comments; mostly eager fans, some "not as eager folks"

Played out bring us Churches chicken.
I saw this yesterday and it made my day!
How about giving us something we want not more garbage fast food.
Fantastic! We were running low on burger joints.
Hooray...more options. Poor Fountain needs it. Sick of having to drive to the springs for everything..
I, for one, anticipate a Whataburger for the Fort Colllins area before 2030.
