OMG! Absolutely love White Castles! I’m from Chicagoland and grew up eating them. Lived in Florida for over 35 years and every time I went back up there I had my favorite hamburger. Frozen store ones are not the same. I pray Villages gets a White Castle. Villages has every other junk food place why not White Castle too!!!!

The White Castle coming to Orlando will be the largest one in the world. Such a nice drive for a great lunch and nearby shopping and entertainment.

Fascinating history!

[Pno212@aol.com]

I have it from a reliable source that one of the Family owners of the White Castle lives or lived in The Villages.

I have been going there in NJ since 1957 and any chance I get now.
Can't wait until it opens in Orlando. I'll buy them by the SACK (30 in a box)

I was there many years ago. It was an experience but foregoing ketchup was a hardship for me!

[BumpaOompa]

Gross! The ketchup layer is thicker than the meat!

Tiny hamburger time grows ever nearer for Orlando.

Construction will begin on Orlando's first branch of the famed fast-food chain White Castle – also set to be the largest free-standing White Castle in the WORLD.

The 4,567 square-foot restaurant – complete with indoor and outdoor seating and two drive-through lanes – will be located at the Village at O-Town West, a mixed-use development at the intersection of Palm and Daryl Carter parkways.

The Orlando White Castle is on track to open in 2021, adding 120 jobs to the area, as well as countless miniature sandwiches.

White Castle executives said Florida caught its attention thanks to groups like “Bring White Castle to Florida,” a Facebook page with almost 10,000 followers.

.......................................

Cravers - let's get a WC or two in The Villages! Business would be brisk with so many here with the taste for sliders...>

- White Castle

Bring White Castle to Florida

(BTW I also read that Portillo's is building a restaurant in the same Orlando area...)

White Castle can stay in Orlando along with the Portillos in Tampa.....close enough to fullfil your craving.

perhaps to be politically correct, they will need to change all their locations to "Castles of Non-Color".

It was not unusual for some of my buddies to eat a dozen sliders. I think my max was about 8. My son inherited this habit and when home from New York, we will make a late night run to White Castle.

I love my White Castle! We get our fix on the annual drive north through the Midwest but will love having one closer!

[mmpm928]

I say we get both. WC and Portillo's. Lets start a mass email blitz to the 2 companies

[ccawalleye]

We welcome White Castle and Portillo's both started in Chicago
And they will both do very well in the Villages. Very surprised that they
are not here already.

I happen to love them both and look forward to patronize both when they get here.

Don't knock them till you try them.
