A loyal Whataburger customer was surprised with a cake during a visit on his 80th birthday.

Ed Johnson of El Paso has gone to Whataburger for breakfast every day for the past few months, his granddaughter Emma Carr said on Twitter.

Johnson started the daily trips after the death of his wife of 59 years. Whataburger runs quickly became an easy way for him to get out of the house.

“Whataburger is a place where he goes for comfort and social interaction,” Carr said.

Salvador Saucedo, the general manager of the Sunland Park Drive location in El Paso, inquired about Johnson’s birthday after befriending him.

When his 80th birthday came Monday, Johnson was greeted at the restaurant with a cake, balloons and smiling employees.

The icing on the cake congratulated "Mr. Johnson, Customer #1."

Carr posted pictures of the event on Twitter and the story quickly went viral. The company even tweeted its own birthday wishes.
