White Castle celebrates National Hamburger Month with classic posters, exclusive deals

May is many things, and one of the things it is, is National Hamburger Month. And so therefore White Castle is pulling out all the stops to celebrate the month of patties with some retro posters – and some great deals.

Let’s talk posters first, because they’re all real White Castle ads from throughout the chain’s 103-year-long history. And as they note in a release provided to Guilty Eats, they introduced National Hamburger month in 1993.

“These posters are a wonderful reminder that as a family-owned business, we have remained steadfast to the pledge our founder made 103 years ago,” said Jamie Richardson, vice president at White Castle said via press release. “Our commitment to delivering hot and tasty food at affordable prices hasn’t wavered in more than a century.”

So where can you get these posters? Honestly, not 100% sure. I think they’re just… Putting them online because they’re cool. 

If that sounds a little disappointing, don’t worry, White Castle also has a month of deals for you at the same time. We’ve already discussed the Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle 20th Anniversary merch currency available, which kicked off just in time for 4/20. There’s also an ongoing $5 Bacon Bundle Deal, which also launched in April.

But there are a bunch more things happening in May.

• In honor of the founding of the company in 1921, you can purchase a $25 gift card for $19.21 this month.
• On Mother’s Day (May 12, 2024), all mothers can get 20% off an order with the code WCMOM on the app. Not sure how they check you’re a mother, but honest is the best policy.
• May 15 is National Slider Day, so you can get a free Original Slider with the code SLIDERDAY.
• Memorial Day weekend (May 25 through May 27), you can get $3 off any Crave Clutch of 20 Sliders with the code CLUTCHDEAL.

Plus the brand notes they will continue the “long-standing tradition of having team members from the home office work in Castles or at the company's food manufacturing plants and bakeries.”

They expect more than 250 White Castle team members will spend a day in May working in the store or assisting the production lines. Happy National Hamburger Month to them!
