GVCS was started in 1985 when the Johnson Family moved to East Texas to begin their Whataburger journey. Throughout the years GVCS grew their Texas footprint to 14 units serving the Deep East Texas markets. In 2020 GVCS was given the privilege of growing and developing the Central Louisiana market where they plan tremendous growth over the next 10 years. We now have 12 stores in Louisiana operating. We are looking for talented and ambitious people to help us grow over the few years. GVCS was honored as Franchisee of the Year in 2011, 2014, and 2018!

Whataburger has 51,000+ Family Members (employees) and more than 60 million customers who like to customize their Whataburgers just the way they like it.
