CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) – A wildly popular burger joint based out of Texas has been given the green light to develop a location in east Charlotte.

Permit submitted for Texas-based Whataburger on Charlotte’s South Blvd.

County records show a zoning permit was approved for 12809 Albemarle Road near Rocky River Church Road, just outside of the I-485 loop, comprising a Whataburger with a drive-thru as part of a larger development known as Clear Creek Crossing. The property was sold in 2022, according to city records.

A permit had previously been submitted for a south Charlotte location off South Blvd.

The fast-food chain already has plans to open up locations in the Triangle and nearby Spartanburg.

Whataburger officials confirmed with Queen City News the Albemarle Road location will not open until at least 2025.

The Texas chain is independent of the What-A-Burgers in Concord, Kannapolis and Mooresville.

Climate tech investment roars back with an $8.1B start to 2024
Climate tech startups raised $8.1 billion in the first quarter, near record amounts of money that suggest 2023’s quiet close might have been more of a blip than the sign of a protracted downturn. The figure, contained in a new report from PitchBook, shows that climate tech hasn’t succumbed to the same slowdown that has dragged on the rest of the venture community. A deeper look into the $8.1 billion raised in the first quarter shows that investors focused their attention on materials, including green steel and battery materials and minerals.
