DALLAS - Two burger fanatics got a big surprise on Wednesday when they arrived at a Dallas Whataburger.

The couple, both in their 70s, were given a new van.

This was the last stop on the couple's trip.

The Hoepfners visited every single Whataburger in America. That's 728 Whataburgers!

It's a plan they made after Carol Hoepfner was diagnosed with cancer.

The trip was a way to keep her mind off the treatments.

And since the couple put more than 20,000 miles on their own van during their 10-state road trip, they were more than happy to receive the gift.
