Celebrating One of Mobile County’s Original A-Frame Whataburgers

Published on 15 December 2025 at 22:27

As a site selector and commercial real estate developer, I have an appreciation for thoughtful building design. Around 10 original A-frame Whataburger locations remain nationwide, and Mobile County is fortunate to have two. It was a pleasure visiting the Chickasaw Whataburger location, where the team was just as warm and nostalgic as the building’s bright exterior. #Our67 #ChickasawAL #MobileCounty #Architecture Whataburger

Key Features of the Original Design:

A-Frame Shape: A tall, sloping, steel structure, often with slanted walls

Color Scheme: Alternating bands of white and orange for high visibility

Built-in Signage: The architecture itself served as the primary advertisement, which fulfilled founder Harmon Dobson's vision.
