The urban landscape has changed drastically since White Castle entered the American scene in a small cement block building in Wichita, Kansas, in 1921. But the White Castle product and its commitment to both customers and employees have remained the same.
Customer loyalty is something the Columbus, Ohio-based company takes very seriously.
To help celebrate the anniversary, White Castle is introducing a Cravers Hall of Fame as a way of showing how important customers are. The fact that close to 1200 entrants were willing to share their special stories illustrates the importance White Castle plays in the lives of its many devoted followers. Ten finalists will be inducted in a ceremony on May 17. White Castle plans on featuring other events to celebrate the 80th anniversary with customers during May, National Hamburger Month. These include many special deals and even white tablecloth dinners at some locations.
