Whataburger was marginally better than Burger King in my experience.
Sadly, I have to agree. When I lived in Texas in the late 90's, Whataburger was good. We actually had one right next to our apartment complex, and that was cool.
But I tried them again recently in Florida, having hyped them up to my family. Huge disappointment. Of course it could just have been that franchise or the people making the food that day.
Our go to fast food chain is now Culver's. I've been to Culver's in multiple states and they have all been reliable, fresh and tasty.
When they build the Duncan location, I'll give it a shot. Hopefully this location will be good. But doubt if they will be as good as they once were.
I’ll say this about Whataburger: good, but pricey. My gripe really isn’t with their food (it can be a bit salty for my taste, but I’m unusually sensitive to salt), it’s just a fair chunk of change and not a place I therefore frequented. Pretty filling though, which isn’t always the case with fast food.
The old Bank of America location…make the vault the freezer and keep 3 drive thru lanes??
Hooters at the corner of Haywood and Laurens is a converted former bank. (C&S; NationsBank >Bank of America) as well as Core Life Eatery at Woodruff and Miller was a Wells Fargo. I guess former banks make good restaurant locations.
Corner of N Main St and Whitehall Rd/Concord Rd in Anderson is currently permitting with Whataburger (empty lot at a intersection which has Walgreens, CVS, and QT on the other corners).
Whataburger is working on finalizing everything so not confirmed as of yet and can change just like anything in the commercial business world.

Banks can make good restaurant locations but they typically cost a good amount to convert into a restaurant in the first place. Vaults sometimes can be kept but quite a bit of the time they may need to be removed or done around.
Certain franchises and restaurants can deal with it but some of them have strict guidelines in the way their restaurants are arranged or look where a bank does not go with policy so they either need special approval or would have to tear down the bank (which, of course, adds cost).
Banks are quite often on great real estate sites making them prime for redevelopment.

I've yet to see a building where a vault was removed. Normally, they'll turn that into an office or something. I had to, many years ago, find out how to penetrate a bank vault when a building was being converted because electrical and data needed to get inside the vault, which was being turned into an office.
I'm QUITE sure that search has me on a list somewhere.
To keep yourself off.. It seems the answer, in short terms.. Is thermite.
My answer was "we're finding a sub-contractor for this!"

There is a latin restaurant in a very old bank building in downtown Knoxville that turned the volt in the basement into a really swanky cocktail bar. Beautiful. Pretty cool.

The proposed Charlotte location for Whataburger is also a former banking center, I believe a former Sun Trust which was closed after the Truist consolidation with BB&T. The Duncan location is apparently a former Bank of America. Other new freestanding locations will likely be built as they infill the region.
