Whataburger celebrated Cinco de Mayo with the news that they will soon bring fan favorites Picante Sauce and Salsa Verde to shelves at most H-E-B stores this month. These sauces will be available in the hot sauce aisle. The Picante Sauce is perfect for pairing with eggs and bacon in the morning or tacos at lunch. It can also be used for dipping, dabbing or topping just about anything that needs a little spice with this one-of-a-kind sauce. The Salsa Verde provides a mild flavor when it comes to spice. This light green salsa is made from a blend of onions, jalapeños and tomatillos that will make breakfast, lunch or dinner more flavorful. (Whataburger, 2017)

“We’re grateful for our partnership with H-E-B that allows us to bring these sauces into our customers’ kitchens to enjoy on their favorite recipes.” – Mike Sobel, Vice President of Retail Mike Sobel

Whataburger has been making burgers since 1950 when Harman Dobson opened a humble hamburger stand in Corpus Christi, Texas. He wanted customers to take one bite and say, “What a burger” so he named his stand on Ayers St “Whataburger.” Since then Whataburger has over 700 locations across the country and continues to deliver fresh, made to order meals everyday with superior customer service. Community support includes charitable giving and volunteerism to nonprofit organizations that focus on children’s charities, cancer research, hunger assistance, disaster relief and military support.
