Whataburger responded in a statement that the company is looking at alternatives that would “keep drinks at the right temperature” in the same way and that until it does, “we continue to urge customers to properly dispose of our cups.” There is a meeting between Whataburger and the groups set for Wednesday, December 19.

Designing the tent is Los Angeles artist Emily Andelin Hughes, who will employ sea-foam green, blues, as well as a flower shop. The tent features an outdoor bar, oyster bar, and dining area.
