For the last days of May, White Castle will continue its 24 hours a day, seven days a week, two-hour long Slider-brations™. During that time, a Castle somewhere across the country will offer the Original Slider^® for just 25 cents, limit 10 per customer.

"More than 20 years ago we created a month-long tribute to the hamburger we all crave so much, the Original Slider, and we've been Slider-brating ever since," Jamie Richardson, vice president of White Castle, said. "We hope Craver Nation continues to create memorable moments with us as we close out National Hamburger Month."
