The world’s largest White Castle is scheduled to open in Orlando early next year.
The fast food chain will be breaking ground at the site of the new restaurant on Nov. 19, according to a media advisory from the company.
When it opens in 2021, the 4,567-square-foot restaurant will be “the largest free-standing White Castle in the world,” the company said. It will also bring 120 new jobs to the area.
The new restaurant will be the first time White Castle has been in Florida since the 1960s when there was a Miami location.
