“We can’t wait to bring the community delicious food, exceptional service and a place to build memories for years to come,” operation partner Jesus Guerrero said. “We look forward to welcoming in and bringing the Whataburger experience to our new friends in the Woodstock area.”

The Woodstock City Council approved a request for Whataburger to build a new location back in 2021. The plan included tearing down the former Cherokee Family Medical Center property.
