TAMPA, Fla. — A Texas-based burger staple is coming to Tampa.
A spokesperson with popular Texas burger chain Whataburger said they are “thrilled to return to the Tampa area” Tuesday afternoon.
Tampa Bay will get its newest Whataburger location, set to open in 2026.
“Whataburger is thrilled to return to the Tampa area, with locations in Largo, Brandon, and others across the region tentatively set to open in the second half of 2026. As we continue expanding in Florida, we’re bringing not only our legendary quality and bold flavors, but also new career opportunities for the local community," said a Whataburger spokesperson.
There are currently 1,138 Whataburgers across 16 states in the United States.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
