The White Castle will be located in The Village at O-Town West at the intersection of Palm Parkway and Daryl Carter Parkway off of Interstate 4.
While the massive 4,567-square-foot restaurant is still getting ready for its spring opening, the company is starting the process of filling 120 job openings at the restaurant. In addition to the sign raising, White Castle also held a hiring event at a Hilton Garden Inn-Lake Buena Vista/Orlando Tuesday. The company said in a release, at least 650 people have already applied.
