As the largest free-standing White Castle restaurant in the world, the famous burger joint hired 120 people for part-time food service and management positions.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 3 will mark the brand’s return to Florida since operating four restaurants in Miami in the 1960s.

The Orlando Castle will be open for take-out, dine-in and drive-through service from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. on grand opening day, then re-open on Tuesday with regular operating hours, 9 a.m. to 1 a.m., seven days per week.

At some point in the future, White Castle will operate 24 hours per day.

Guests are limited to ordering up to sixty sliders per visit.
