COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- White Castle inducted 14 of its most dedicated and passionate fans into its Cravers Hall of Fame today during a ceremony at its home office in Columbus.

The induction ceremony is a tradition that has been taking place every year since White Castle first created the Cravers Hall of Fame in 2001 to recognize its most zealous fans. As part of the ceremony, each of the 14 members of the 2024 class of inductees spent a few minutes talking about their personal connection to the brand that introduced The Original Slider® and launched the fast-food industry when its first Castle opened in 1921.

"We are humbled by the extreme lengths our most dedicated Cravers will go to satisfy their love for our hot and tasty food," said Jamie Richardson, vice president at White Castle. "Their love for our food and their connection to the brand run so deep that we want to show our appreciation by bestowing them with this prestigious honor."

White Castle provided the inductees with complimentary travel, dining and hotel accommodations as well as a grand reception in their honor. Each honoree received a plaque commemorating their special place in the Cravers Hall of Fame, and their individual stories will be featured on the restaurant's iconic Slider box packaging.
