Highway Hero
When their bus broke down, these students needed a hero. And some chicken strips.
For high school students, there’s nothing more exciting than heading to the beach for a spring break trip with your friends. Bags are packed, flip flops and sunglasses are donned, and you’re ready to hit the road … until all that excitement comes to a slow rolling stop on the side of the highway.
That’s what happened to a youth group from Grand Prairie, Texas, whose bus broke down on their way to South Padre Island, dooming them to hours of boredom (and hunger) on the side of the road.
Until a quick-thinking group leader pulled up the Whataburger app, that is. And a dedicated Whataburger manager made a special delivery to save the day.
