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.

Chattanooga, TN, United States, 8th Dec 2025 – Time Wellness Centers has announced the expansion of its statewide program for Mental Health Treatment Tennessee, designed to address the increasing demand for licensed, structured mental health care. As outlined by Time Wellness Centers, the initiative expands inpatient and residential treatment capacity across Tennessee, aligning with efforts to provide standardized, clinically supervised mental health services.

The expanded framework consists of integrated, person-centered care that addresses a range of conditions, including mood disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and co-occurring substance use disorders. The model integrates clinical therapy, psychiatric oversight, and continuous care within a structured treatment environment designed to support long-term mental health stabilization, as per the Tennessee mental health facilities’ media contact person. 

According to Jessica Gerstein, Executive Director of Time Wellness Centers, “access to appropriate care can significantly influence outcomes for individuals facing mental health challenges. Our goal is to guarantee that people in Tennessee have access to high-quality, regulated care in structured, encouraging environments.”

Data from the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services indicate that more than one in five adults in the state experience a mental health condition annually, reflecting a steady rise in the demand for regulated inpatient mental health facilities in Tennessee.

Time Wellness Centers’ Residential Mental Health Facilities Tennessee approach incorporates step-down and aftercare planning to support ongoing rehabilitation upon release, going beyond short-term stability. According to the information provided by Gerstein, each treatment plan is created in collaboration with certified therapists, psychiatrists, and support personnel to guarantee that each participant receives customized, data-driven therapy.

“Our approach combines an established therapeutic community with clinical expertise,” stated Clinical Director, Erricka Hill. “It’s about giving clients both structure and compassion, enabling them to overcome the difficulties that frequently accompany mental health recovery while keeping an eye on clinical advancement and long-term wellness.”

According to Time Wellness Centers, the expansion involves developing partnerships with local healthcare providers and referral networks to promote coordination and continuity in patient care.

Allie Hinchman, Director of Business Development, stated, “Collaboration remains at the heart of our approach as we continue to develop programs across Tennessee. We’re assisting in bridging the gap between crisis intervention and sustainable recovery by closely collaborating with referring professionals, hospitals, and community organizations.”

Time Wellness Centers reports that its licensed facilities employ credentialed professionals who deliver a range of clinical and supportive services, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and medication management.

Time Wellness Centers Announces Expansion of Mental Health Treatment Services in Tennessee

No. 14 Illinois put together perhaps its best and most complete performance – and certainly its most compelling half – of the season Saturday in Nashville in a 75-62 win over No. 13 Tennessee. It amounted to not only a measure of revenge after Illini losses to the Vols in each of the past two seasons but also proof positive that this team has the ability to take down top teams in more ways than one.

Some of that is reflected in who stepped up and aced their personal performances, which we detail in our player grades below. As always, these are single-game, subjective evaluations of individual on-court production:

Welcome back, Tomi. Oh, how the Illini missed you. With 16 points on 7-for-13 shooting (including two threes) and a team-best plus-17 plus-minus figure, Ivisic put up mostly excellent numbers – save for a so-so night on the boards (five). But for the first time this season, he was the engine that drove Illinois’ offense. We’ve said it many times before, and we’ll say it (at least) once more: The Illini are at their best playing through Ivisic, and on Saturday he was finally healthy and fit enough to make it so.

Two points and not a single shot from the field in 26 minutes? What are you doing out there, Ben? The answer: everything else. Between his hounding defense, shoulder-banging rebounding and relentless hustle plays, Humrichous arguably did more to help Illinois win than any other player who hit the floor. If he can ba;ance that with a couple of made threes each game, he’ll be in the mix for Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year.

Wagler finally broke through against a top opponent, and he seemed to be solving the puzzles that had perplexed him only a week or two ago in real time against Tennessee. It helps when the long ball is falling (4-for-11), but Wagler also added eight rebounds against a hulking Volunteers group and led the Illini with five assists (against zero turnovers).

Boswell did a lot of really valuable Boswell things – examples: got downhill to create shots on offense, locked up on defense – but his perimeter shot wasn’t falling. An 0-for-3 performance from three isn’t a backbreaker (especially from him), but a 3-for-6 showing from the free-throw line could have been a difference-maker on another night.

It’s a luxury for 14 points (2-for-4 on threes), six rebounds (including five offensive), two assists and a block from a freshman to be a mildly frustrating performance, but Mirkovic still toggles between trying to do too much and disappearing for stretches.

Big Z is never going to be a truly dynamic defender, but he has to be more than just a jump shooter and shot blocker for Illinois. And on Saturday, he was only half that. Zvonimir hit two big threes, but he had three fouls, only one rebound and a team-worst minus-4 plus-minus in nine minutes.

Stojakovic never gained any offensive traction against Tennessee (five points on 2-for-5 shooting), in part because he’s still figuring out exactly how and where he can fit in on a nightly basis. He made himself playable with a pair of blocks and a pair of steals, but needs to be more active on the boards (two in 21 minutes).

In seven mostly uneventful minutes, Davis knocked down his only shot attempt (a three) and grabbed a defensive rebound, while taking nothing off the table. But Tennessee’s size and muscle make him a target on defense, which mostly kept him off the floor.

When three missed shot attempts and a turnover in six minutes are the extent of your contributions, you feel grateful to receive an “incomplete” grade. It wasn’t Petrovic’s night (or matchup), and Wagler’s strong play made his minutes optional.
