Patrick Mahomes is starting off a new venture with his lucky charm! This offseason, the Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback is building his business empire with huge investments. Last month, he launched a ready-to-drink iced coffee brand, Throne Sport Coffee that became the No.1 seller on Amazon after his T-shirt promotion.

Now, once again, he is back into another industry – his favorite food chain. Mahomes earlier dreamt of opening 30 restaurants of Whataburger within seven years in Kansas City. And he is onto it, with a beautiful tribute to his “angel baby” Sterling Skye.

In a recent Instagram story update, Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany Mahomes shared a snap of the newly opened fast food chain–Whataburger in Sterling Ave. The quarterback launched the restaurant at this location (Sterling Ave) keeping in mind his daughter Sterling as a sweet tribute. Emotional Brittany shared this news alongside a caption, “@patrickmahomes opened a new @whataburger on Sterling Ave (with a holding back tears emoji) in Kansas City!!!” Now like father, as Sterling grows up, she could have some lip-smacking burgers in her father’s special tribute location.

The franchise is operated by KMO Burger LLC, in which Mahomes is a partner. Apart from basic burgers, this food chain also sells hamburgers, shakes, chicken wings, breakfast sandwiches, and more. Missing the franchise after moving to Kansas City and becoming an NFL star, Mahomes invested in KMO Burger, a WhataBurger franchisee, to bring the restaurant to Kansas and Missouri. He aimed to open 30 locations by 2028, with ten already open now. The last franchise opened by Patrick in April is at Truman’s Marketplace shopping center at 12424 S. U.S. Highway 71, in Grandview.

To even upscale this food chain investment, Patrick Mahomes’ mother too joined hands with the quarterback in Whataburger.

Patrick Mahomes, who loves Texan cuisine, has brought Tex-Mex flavors to Kansas City. He invested in Whataburger and a new barbecue venture, staying connected to his Texan roots. His mother, Randi Mahomes, supports his business efforts and serves as an ambassador for Whataburger. In a recent interview with KENS5, she shared that this food chain was a family favorite while Patrick was growing up, making his investment in bringing the chain to Kansas City special.

She said, “A lot of Kansas City people are excited about that because they’ve never had it. And I had people from other states that are like, can you help us get it here?’ Its food that everyone likes and he grew up on it.” Randi also mentioned that the closest restaurant to her house is a Whataburger, adding convenience to their love for the chain.

Apart from the Mahomes family, even the quarterback’s teammates are a fond of Whataburger. Mahomes often visits the franchise’s locations and has even introduced his teammates such as Travis Kelce to his favorite items, such as the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit. In the podcast episode of New Heights in 2022, impressed Kelce said, “If it’s any time past midnight and I’m hammered and I’m going [to] Whataburger, that barbecue chicken sandwich on Texas toast is so good.”

So, it won’t be wrong to say that the Chiefs players are now slowly falling in love with Whataburger!
