      As someone in the US who occasionally watches videos about Netherlands, it's kinda crazy how different things are there compared to the US.

    They’re building like 7 Whataburgers here in the Upstate. I’m excited there’ll be one down the street from my house 🥳. I fell in love with that place when I lived in Shreveport 🤤

    I grew up in Texas and moved to Columbia, SC in 2016. The fact that we just recently got a Buccees in Florence and now we're getting a Whataburger in Columbia amongst other cities is amazing.

      @@humptyshots6177 in this specific case, yes. But in general, the acronym PDW does stand for Pretty Damn Quick, and this use has been around much longer than People Dedicated to Quality. It's a synonym for ASAP (As Soon As Possible). So I guess you could say PDQ stands for both now, lol. But I'm pretty sure, given the fact that PDQ was/is a fast food restaurant (or maybe fast-casual), AKA a quick service restaurant, the PDQ in the name is tongue-in-cheek. It might officially, in their particular business, stand for People Dedicated to Quality. But they knew exactly what they were doing. I am certain of that, LOL.

    We were suppose to have two of them open here in Augusta GA, but there were some issues with how they were built (they were nearly open) and never opened. One is now a Slim Chickens joint and the other is an Echo Park Automotive place. They had a small one open for a very short time in a Walmart here, but within six months it seemed to close like all the other food places in our Walmart's. Some of the PDQ locations were franchised with help from Tim Tebow and Vinny Testaverde. Not sure if the ones here were, but they have a small handful that they set up.

    Columbia Resident Here - I lived down from that PDQ a few years back and only went once. It was just too expensive for what it is. Zaxby’s is way cheaper and the quality is on par between the two.

    PDQ and Whataburger (Texas-based chain) entered a deal together to change some of PDQs restaurants to Whataburgers so that they can enter the East coast market. Similar to what happened with Zoe’s and Cava
