The wait is nearly over as the new Whataburger in Opelousas, Louisiana is set to have its grand opening on Monday, August 26, 2024.

The restaurant is located right off the interstate at 6401 I-49 South Service Road.

This will be the first Whataburger to open in the St. Landry Parish city. The restaurant will have a very hometown feel as there is a custom interior mural featuring Opelousas splashed across the wall.

According to a press release, the restaurant "pays respect to Whataburger's storied history while looking to the future with a forward-thinking design. Features include digital menu boards, a modern kitchen, and a spacious dining room to serve guests best."
