White Castle® Partners With OpenTable For Annual Valentine's Day Dinner

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- White Castle is now accepting reservations for its 27^th annual Valentine's Day dinner on Wednesday, February 14, from 4 ? 9 p.m. at most Castles. For the first time, diners can now book reservations online through OpenTable.com, or the OpenTable app, the world's leading provider of online restaurant reservations, making it simpler than ever to make this year's Valentine's Day plans. Cravers can share their love of White Castle and make this dinner a memorable moment by inviting family and friends to join them, but reservations are limited so book your reservation early.

"Many couples have fond memories of first dates or even love at first sight here at White Castle, so Valentine's Day has become a longstanding tradition for us and our customers. We even have many Cravers who have shared their wedding vows among friends and family in our dining rooms," said Jamie Richardson, vice president of White Castle. "Whether it's sharing the very sliders that brought our fans together or simply enjoying a special Valentine's Day meal with loved ones, this is a wonderful event that we all look forward to each year."

This renowned and celebrated experience has been a yearly tradition for more than a quarter century, complete with hostess seating, tableside service and a flavorful line-up including The Original Slider^®, the Veggie Slider and all other Craver favorites. Cravers can skip the standard box of chocolates and treat their friends or family to a limited-time Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Smoothie, made with a creamy blend of real strawberries and vanilla yogurt, and topped with a decadent layer of rich Ghirardelli premium chocolate sauce.

"Every year, reservations fill up quickly at most of our Castles," Richardson said. "We encourage Cravers everywhere to book their reservations through OpenTable, or contact our regional offices, as soon as possible to ensure they are able to join in on the celebration. This is the ultimate way to celebrate with your favorite Craver on Valentine's Day ? and we want fans everywhere to have the chance to experience this memorable night for themselves."

"People use the OpenTable app to discover many different kinds of dining experiences. We love that our diners and White Castle's loyal Cravers can now access and book reservations at any of White Castle's iconic locations for Valentine's Day," added Scott Jampol, OpenTable Senior Vice President of Marketing.

White Castle team members encourage those who attend the dinner to take photos and post them to social media using #whitecastle to share with friends and fellow Cravers. White Castle will also have a special Snapchat Geofilter at all locations for Valentine's Day.
