White Castle Vice President Jamie Richardson said fans have been craving the return of the "original slider" in Florida since a location in Miami closed in the 1960s.

He said the location in O-Town West had everything they were looking for "in terms of visibility, in terms of a brand new site that we could build from the ground up and a place where people are going to be able to crave and comfort for generations to come."
