Byron Trott’s BDT Capital Partners LLC bought a majority ownership of Texas staple Whataburger to help the fast-food chain expand, the company said.

The San Antonio-based family-owned chain has been around for nearly 70 years, but lacks the national recognition of Shake Shack Inc. and In-N-Out Burger.
