Whataburger Snags Mooresville Location For Another Charlotte-Area Restaurant
By Jennifer Thomas – Senior Staff Writer, Charlotte Business Journal
Whataburger is expanding its restaurant development pipeline in the Charlotte market.
The Texas-based burger chain’s website now lists a restaurant at 604 River Highway in Mooresville — though the company declined to comment on plans for that location. The site was previously home to O’Charley’s restaurant.
The town of Mooresville has issued a $2 million building permit for that 1.68-acre parcel. Project documents call “for renovation of an existing restaurant to a new provider.” The restaurant is roughly 7,400 square feet.
Georgia-based W.H. Bass Inc. is named as the general contractor. BL Cos. is listed as the architect.
Whataburger would be part of Winslow Bay Commons, a 441,773-square-foot commercial development. It is anchored by Target, Ross Dress for Less, Homegoods, Michael’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods and PetSmart.
The restaurant fits into Whataburger’s growth plans for North Carolina. CEO Debbie Stroud confirmed plans for its first eight restaurants in North Carolina to the Charlotte Business Journal in January, ending years of speculation. That list includes four locations in the Charlotte region.
