White Castle jumps on the all-day breakfast bandwagon

The same day McDonald’s made its long-awaited all-day breakfast announcement, White Castle declared it will also serve daylong breakfast, starting Sept. 10.

The sliders chain’s all-day lineup will include its Original Slider with Hash Brown Nibblers as well as smoothies, and will feature the permanent return of its Breakfast Belgian Waffle Slider LTOs, including the new Sausage & Gravy Waffle Slider.

“We are constantly looking at the changing tastes of our Cravers and the American public,” White Castle Vice President Jamie Richardson said in a release Tuesday. “Our White Castle test kitchen has developed and launched a number of new Craver favorites over the past several years, diversifying our menu and creating a need for menu availability outside of the traditional breakfast hours.”
