US hamburger chain White Castle has secured a lease for a new restaurant at 1944 LPGA Boulevard in Daytona Beach in the US state of Florida, with an anticipated opening date in late summer 2026.

The new venue will incorporate the brand's contemporary "neighbourhood" design, featuring both indoor and outdoor seating and two drive-through lanes.

White Castle Daytona Beach is will create 70 local jobs.

This will be the fourth standalone White Castle outlet in Florida, following the brand's return to the state in 2021 with its Orlando flagship, and the recent opening of a location in Clermont.

Brandon McCalla from Jones Lang LaSalle, a global commercial real estate and investment management company, was involved in the site selection process for the Daytona Beach restaurant.

White Castle has announced plans for a third standalone restaurant in Kissimmee at O-town West, expected to open before the Daytona location.

The company also operates a Crave 'n Go outlet in Orlando, providing delivery and grab-and-go options.

White Castle vice-president Jamie Richardson stated: “This commitment marks the next exciting step in our Florida expansion.

“Our Orlando and Clermont Castles have been embraced with open arms, and we can't wait to bring our beloved sliders to Daytona Beach. Known as 'The World's Most Famous Beach' and part of Florida's Fun Coast, Daytona's vibrant, growing community is a perfect match for our fun-loving, customer-centric brand.

“We're eager to meet the crave and become part of the fabric of this community.”

In early August 2025, White Castle announced that it would open its first restaurant in Texas, at the Grandscape in The Colony.
