White Castle celebrates National Slider Day with free sliders on May 15
Fans of White Castle's original slider are in for a free treat this week. On Thursday, the nationwide chain is celebrating the square beef burger, commonly known as a slider, which launched it into fast-food hamburger fame.
In 2015, White Castle introduced National Slider Day, honoring its original steamed slider with onions. So prolific is the iconic slider that in 2014 Time magazine called it "the most influential burger of all time," according to White Castle.
To get the offer, customers on Thursday can use a digital coupon from White Castle's website. To redeem the offer using the White Castle app, use the code 'SLIDERDAY.''The introduction of the Slider in 1921 helped turn White Castle into a household name and launched the fast-food industry as we know it today,' said Jamie Richardson, vice president at White Castle, in a news release. 'We think a burger that has had so much influence in the food industry is worthy of its own special day, and what better way to celebrate than to thank our customers with a complimentary slider.'In addition to the free offer, White Castle recently launched its latest deal: six original sliders for $4, or about 67 cents for each slider.
Family-owned White Castle is based in Columbus, Ohio, and operates about 340 restaurants in addition to a retail side providing products to grocers' freezers.
