There’s a lot of excitement surrounding the opening of Tuscaloosa’s first Whataburger restaurant, including a contest to be the first person served.

Whataburger is going to choose one winner of free Whataburger for a year (one sandwich per week), a Whataburger T-shirt, a Yeti Whataburger tumbler, a Whataburger sportula, a set of Whataburger boasters, and a Whataburger blanket.

To participate, the potential winner should post about the Grand Opening on Facebook or Twitter, using the hashtag #ServeMeFirstPromotion. All properly qualifying submissions made before the deadline of 12:00 p.m. CST on February 23, 2018 will be entered to win. Official rules.

So far, there are some pretty good submissions on the restaurant’s Facebook, including Whataburger being part of a family road trip tradition, being a regular at Whataburger and then moving to Tuscaloosa (which doesn’t have one) and going through withdrawals, and even crediting a burger eaten the night before as a contributing factor to an improvement in marathon time.
