Whataburger is now open in St. Johns.

The burger chain’s new location at 2850 CR-210 W. within Shoppes of St. Johns Parkway debuted earlier this week. The location, Whatburger’s first in St. Johns, features double drive-thru lanes that will be open 24/7.

In addition to this location, Whataburger will be opening another new Jax-area location at 8239 Old Middleburg Rd. S., adjacent to Oakleaf Town Center. It plans to open that location later this spring.
