Whataburger closing four Middle Tennessee restaurants. When and where
Whataburger has announced plans to close four of its 24 Middle Tennessee restaurants less than four years after returning to the region.
Restaurants that are closing Dec. 15 are:
- Mt. Juliet: 11190 Lebanon Road
- Murfreesboro: 1924 Memorial Boulevard
- Clarksville: 791 North 2nd Street
- Clarksville: 1602 Haynes Street
“We regularly conduct a business review of our locations to maximize opportunities for growth and keep Whataburger strong in the communities we serve. In a few cases that means closing restaurants,” according to a company statement.
The decision to close the four restaurants “helps focus our efforts where we can make the biggest impact,” the company stated.
The Mt. Juliet restaurant opened on July 9, 2024 at the southeast corner of Lebanon Road and North Mt. Juliet Road.
Whataburger also has a restaurant on Rutland Drive in Mt. Juliet and two restaurants in neighboring Lebanon in Wilson County.
Lineberry Properties is the property landlord for the Mt. Juliet restaurant that will close.
The lease is for 15 years. Mark Lineberry of Lineberry Properties expects Whataburger’s broker to sublease the property.
Whataburger plans to continue opening new restaurants in the Nashville area that includes a location off Gallatin Avenue in Nashville in the coming months.
Whataburger returned to the Nashville area for the first time since the 1970s with a restaurant in Hermitage in January 2022.
