Mesa Council to vote on construction of new Whataburger on S. Power Road

The Mesa City Council will vote on the construction of a new Whataburger drive-thru restaurant in Mesa during their May 20 meeting.

The restaurant would be at 365 S. Power Road if approved.  David Cox is the applicant. WNDG LLC is the owner. The site is currently occupied by a bank building.

If approved, the 2,859-square-foot Whataburger would have two drive-thru lanes and 28 parking spaces.  The bank would be razed in order for construction to proceed.

"The proposed project provides restaurant and quick delivery food services to the surrounding residents and contributes to creating the needed services to sustain the group commercial center," a council report said. "...The proposed building will include an indoor dining area as well as a two-lane drive-thru for customers. The drive-thru lanes will begin at the south side of the building and will wrap around the eastern portion of the proposed building with the pick-up window located at the eastern elevation."

This would be the seventh Whataburger location in Mesa. It is currently unclear how much construction would cost nor how long it would take  if approved.
