Whataburger plans to bring its Charitable Giving Pillar program to the community, teaming up with organizations involving education from pre-school through adult education programs.

Jay Cox, operations leader for Whataburger, said the company strives to involve students in its work force.

“Whether it be parents of students, or students that are actually (at) their first job; we’re able to establish ourselves as an employer of choice, because of how we are able to get involved in the community locally.”

Cox said during his speech that they are hoping to have all four Clarksville locations, and a Springfield location, open within 12 to 18 months.

The four Clarksville locations are:

  • 791 N. Second St., the old Shoney’s location
  • 599 Fire Station Road, across MLK Parkway from Freddy’s
  • 1800 Fort Campbell Blvd., next to Taco John’s
  • 1602 Haynes Road, former IHOP location
