The long-awaited Crave is officially making its way to Daytona Beach. White Castle—the legendary home of The Original Slider and America’s very first fast-food hamburger chain—has officially broken ground on a brand-new “Castle” located at 1944 LPGA Boulevard. Construction is underway, with the grand opening forecasted for late Fall 2026.
Local officials, brand ambassadors, and White Castle executives gathered at the site for a uniquely festive groundbreaking ceremony. In true White Castle fashion, the team celebrated the occasion by “sprinkling onions” on the exact spot where the future grill will stand. The LPGA Boulevard location comes on the heels of the brand’s successful expansion in Kissimmee, reinforcing White Castle’s footprint across Central Florida.
The Daytona Beach location will feature White Castle’s modern “neighborhood” prototype layout. Plans for the site include comfortable indoor and outdoor seating paired with dual drive-thru lanes designed for fast, direct service to your car. Beyond satisfying late-night slider cravings around the clock, the new restaurant will create more than 70 local jobs for Volusia County residents once operational.
City Manager Deric C. Feacher welcomed the addition, noting that the iconic brand adds even more variety to the city’s rapidly growing dining scene along the LPGA corridor. White Castle Chief Marketing Officer Jamie Richardson shared the team’s excitement for bringing affordable, hot sliders to local Cravers, officially kicking off the countdown to opening day.
