NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Well-known burger chain Whataburger has reportedly chosen the Hermitage area for its new Nashville location.

Documents submitted to the Metro Planning Commission detail plans for the restaurant to be located at 5055 Old Hickory Boulevard, not far from Interstate 40, where an Applebee’s was once located before it was damaged in a fire.

The plans include a new entrance and exit from Juarez Drive and a longer turn lane on Old Hickory Boulevard to accommodate increased traffic.
