Youngsville, Louisiana (February 19, 2026) – GVCS Inc. will open the doors to its first Whataburger in Youngsville on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at 11 a.m. The franchisee has over two dozen locations in Central Louisiana and East Texas.
“We’re about to add some bold and savory flavors to the sweet life in Youngsville with our new restaurant at 3204 E. Milton Ave.” Whataburger franchisee Chris Johnson of GVCS Inc. said. “We’re eager for our new friends and neighbors to take that first bite of their hot, fresh Whataburger favorites. If it’s been a while since they’ve been, the memories will come flooding back. If they’ve never been, they’re in for a treat. We will be open 24/7 so they can get their Whataburger fix anytime with breakfast daily from 11 p.m. to 11 a.m.”
The restaurant will open with a 24-hour drive-thru and dining room service. Customers can order online via the Whataburger App and Whataburger.com for curbside pickup and delivery in the coming weeks.
The new Whataburger, led by operating partner Melanie Bordelon, will employ more than 80 locals called Family Members. It will have easy-to-read digital menu boards inside and out, a double drive-thru, an ordering kiosk, and custom wall art.
The first guests in the drive-thru lane and dining room will each receive a Whataburger gift basket, and the next 25 families will receive swag bags.
Whataburger is open 24/7, 364 days a year (closed Christmas Day). Breakfast is served from 11 p.m. to 11 a.m.
