Fast-food restaurant White Castle has announced that its one-year-old Orlando location has become the chain’s top performer.
White Castle estimates it will have a total of five million sliders sold at its Orlando location by May 3, the day it marks its first anniversary.
In 1960, White Castle began operation in four restaurants in Miami.
Currently, White Castle’s Orlando location sold 40,000 freshly cracked eggs to create all-day breakfast sliders, a new White Castle record. In fact, White Castle said the eggs they are using since last May would encircle Lake Eola more than once if they were stacked end to end.
“We had so many loyal fans in Central Florida who were eagerly anticipating White Castle’s arrival, but the response this past year has far exceeded our expectations,” said Jamie Richardson, vice president at White Castle.
“Everyone in the Orlando area has been so warm and welcoming, and they have a Crave the size of the Sunshine State.”
Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings stated, “We salute White Castle on a record-breaking first year in Central Florida and thank them for creating jobs for our residents. White Castle’s presence has added to a blockbuster year for our hotels and convention business, and we expect that pace to continue this summer.”
More than 350 White Castle restaurants exist in 13 states, as the restaurant chain continues to serve Americans for over 101 years now.
The White Castle restaurant at Unicorp’s $1 billion mixed-use employs 120 team members and managers, accommodates 200 guests, and houses TVs, free WIFI, and a kitchen that’s entirely visible from the dining room.
