White Castle slashes price of burgers as fast-food deal war ramps up
LOS ANGELES - In an effort to attract budget-conscious consumers, White Castle has introduced a significant price reduction on its popular sliders.
The Ohio-based fast-food chain is now offering a limited-time deal where customers can purchase a sack of 10 cheese sliders for just $7.99. This marks the first time since 2011 that the burgers are available at such a low price, as the company aims to combat rising inflation and offer better value to its customers.

What is the new White Castle deal?
White Castle's current promotion offers a sack of 10 cheese sliders for $7.99. However, in New York and New Jersey, the same deal costs $8.99.
Despite the slight increase in these states, the price per burger remains competitive and lower than many other fast-food combo meals, according to the chain.
Why is White Castle reducing prices?
Jamie Richardson, White Castle Vice President, explained that the price cut is a response to the financial pressures consumers face due to inflation.
By offering great food at a great price, White Castle hopes to make dining out more affordable for families and individuals alike.
