Arizona’s White Castle Was Forced To Close Due To High Demand & It’s A 24 Hr Food Place
On October 23, Arizona's first-ever White Castle opened its doors to the public. The food chain is a 24-hour establishment, but due to high demand, it had to close early. White Castle made the announcement that it had to shut down early to restock.
According to ABC 15, an official White Castle spokesperson stated that the chain had to close its doors from 4:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. early Thursday morning. The fast-food chain is currently open and business is still booming. Usually, employees would have a chance to restock in the early hours after midnight, but due to ongoing demand, the chain will be shutting down daily at 1:00 a.m. to restock, according to AZ Central.
If you thought ordering inside the restaurant would take time, some people mentioned that wait times for the drive-thru are over five hours long.
One Twitter user tweeted, "If you're heading to Scottsdale today for the grand opening of the new White Castle (I've talked to a few people making the trip from Tucson) off Loop 101, the wait time for drive-through is over 5 hours, dining room about 7 hours."
White Castle's signature sliders can be bought from select stores around the country. One Twitter user suggested, "If you really got to have it, I suggest the freezer section at your local market. Otherwise, you may want to wait until they build more locations. *sheesh*"
