White Castle has installed a new automated kiosk at Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), expanding its on-the-go offering for travellers in the Fort Myers area.
Located in the airport’s renovated terminal food court, the unit serves freshly heated, ready-to-eat beef and chicken Sliders on demand. The site is part of RSW’s transition to a vending-focused dining model designed to serve high-traffic passenger flows efficiently.
The kiosk launch is part of a partnership with Just Baked and Evolvending. Through Evolvending’s airport industry relationships, the partners are expanding to additional locations.
The fully automated unit offers a menu of White Castle retail Sliders, including the Original Slider, Classic Cheese Sliders, Cheddar Bacon Cheese Slider and Chicken & Cheese Slider. Orders are prepared hot and ready with minimal wait.
Sarah Paulson, director of retail marketing, innovation and licensing at White Castle, said: “Airports are all about speed, convenience and reliability, and this automated kiosk at RSW lets us deliver the White Castle experience in a world-class facility in a way that fits how people travel today".
"By combining automation with our iconic Sliders thanks to our partnership with Just Baked and Evolvending, we’re meeting travelers where they are and rethinking what airport dining can look like.”
Valentina Ellison, CEO of Evolvending, added: “We’re excited to launch our exclusive partnership with White Castle at Southwest Florida International Airport. This location showcases the future of airport dining through its unique design and restaurant-quality food delivered through automation.”
The RSW installation adds to White Castle’s presence in airports. The company operates an automated kiosk at Boston Logan International Airport and plans to expand to additional US airports.
White Castle’s retail Sliders are sold in grocery and club stores locally and across all 50 states, made with the same ingredients as its restaurant Sliders, including a 100% beef patty steamed on a bed of onions.
