Orlando White Castle opening draws big line of little burger fans
5/3/2021 27 mins ago

More than 100 people were standing in line under a tent, and the drive-thru also was packed with cars.

White Castle was set to open at 8 a.m. in the O-Town West development on Daryl Carter Parkway near Disney World.

The restaurant will be open until 1 a.m. Tuesday and then 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. every day of the week. Eventually, it will be a 24-hour operation. There is a 60-slider limit per customer.

The restaurant will be the “largest free-standing White Castle in the world” at 4,567 square feet and features two drive-through lanes along with indoor and outdoor seating. It’s the first White Castle in Florida since the 1960s.

The company was expecting extremely high interest. A White Castle ghost kitchen near downtown Orlando, without a dining room, opened in February and had to abruptly close because of overwhelming demand until the full restaurant near Disney opens.

Orlando restaurants are also short staffed. At least 1/2 hour waits in sit down restaurants. The Kissimmee Culver's I visited yesterday has limited dine in just like the TV Culver's. Now hiring signs up everywhere.

Many of us think we know why people are choosing NOT to work.

However, I go on record as saying that I love White Castle Hamburgers. Lovely memories of the very few times as a child we ate "out". Bexley in Columbus, Ohio. Take off the pickles. Couldn't afford drinks with the two hamburgers but that fun is "seared" in my memory.

Thanks for that information I’m going to head down there soon, about the talk about Culver’s which I’ve never been . I was at Tropical Smoothie around 1pm Friday it’s in front of Walmart, there were 9 people working there and yes I counted them because I was impressed in a store much smaller the Culver’s , people go where the money goes and maybe Culver’s is a little tight in that part

When chains open new locations, they bring workforce in from all over the country, they are familiar with the processes. They train the new workforce - they also over staff, to be sure the stomper experience is positive

Please dont make open a White Castle into a debate on raising the minimum wage.

The villages, has sucked up a lot of land that might have gone to normal families with children. There are a lot less working age able-bodied people in the general area. It's very simple would you want to drive 30 or 45 minutes to go to a job or do you want to work in the general vicinity of your job. The villages has done a very big disservice but not planning to have enough regular homes for non over 55 s. So you don't get enough people in the trades that live right here and you don't get teenagers that want to work in fast food places because there aren't that many. You guys wanted to live in an island and you got exactly what you wanted don't complain

Parents don’t make their kids get a job anymore and then allow them to live at home forever, rent free, which is why there are no workers for entry level jobs.

I remember my first duty station when I was in the Navy, you could get a bag full of White Castile burgers for a buck, I think they were 10 cents each.

White Castle. Years ago I went with my cousin to White Castle for an eating contest.
I lost. I think I ate 23 of them. Today just thinking about White Castle makes me nauseous.
