Countdown to Cravings: White Castle® to Open New Location in Daytona Beach

White Castle® Expands to Daytona Beach!

White Castle®, the proud creator of The Original Slider® and America's pioneering fast-food hamburger chain, has exciting news for cravers in Daytona Beach. The much-anticipated new restaurant will be located at 1944 LPGA Boulevard and is set to open its doors in late summer 2026.

This new establishment in Daytona will embody White Castle's modern and inviting “neighborhood” prototype. Guests can look forward to a delightful experience with both indoor and outdoor seating options, alongside two convenient drive-thru lanes where team members will efficiently serve orders directly to vehicles. As the fourth freestanding Castle in the state of Florida, White Castle's Daytona Beach location aims to strengthen the company's ongoing commitment to fostering community growth and providing job opportunities. The launch is expected to create over 70 new local jobs—an effort White Castle values deeply.

Jamie T. Richardson, the Vice President of White Castle, shared, "This commitment marks the next exciting step in our Florida expansion. Our Orlando and Clermont locations have received an enthusiastic welcome, and we can’t wait to bring our beloved sliders to Daytona Beach. Known for its vibrant community and as 'The World's Most Famous Beach,' Daytona is a perfect match for our fun and customer-focused brand. We’re eager to meet the cravings of the local residents and become a cherished part of the community fabric!"

The upcoming Daytona Castle is part of White Castle's strategic growth plan in Florida, which has already seen great success with its flagship Orlando location, recognized as the largest White Castle in the world. Following this, the Clermont Castle opened just this month, receiving a positive response from eager customers. Additionally, White Castle plans to establish another location in Kissimmee at O-town West, further extending its reach in Central Florida and serving more of its iconic Sliders within the region. Moreover, a Crave 'n Go location in Orlando provides an option for delivery and quick grab-and-go service in response to the bustling demand in this rapid-growth market.

Since its inception in 1921, White Castle has consistently served hot and delicious Sliders, marking the brand as a quintessential part of American fast-food culture. Based in Columbus, Ohio, White Castle operates over 341 restaurants and features a retail division where fans can find their favorite products in freezer aisles nationwide. The company's commitment to quality is reinforced by owning its own meat plants, bakeries, and frozen retail production plants, ensuring that every Slider is made to perfection.

White Castle has earned significant accolades over the years, including being recognized by Time magazine as having the “Most Influential Burger of All Time” in 2014 with The Original Slider®. Known for their passionate fans—known as Cravers—many of whom aim to secure a spot in the prestigious Cravers Hall of Fame, White Castle remains a beloved brand in the world of fast food.
