The first Arizona White Castle opened in Scottsdale in 2019.

A third White Castle is coming to Arizona in late 2024.

The Ohio-based fast food chain will open its first restaurant in the West Valley in Goodyear.

Goodyear’s White Castle will be located near the intersection of McDowell Road and Bullard Avenue.

White Castle officials said the new location will create roughly 50 jobs, and the company will break ground in Goodyear in the coming months.

The first Arizona White Castle opened in Scottsdale in 2019, and the second opened in Tempe in 2023.

Goodyear’s White Castle will have 52 indoor dining room seats, a covered patio with 14 outdoor seats, and a two-lane drive-thru.

White Castle is best known for its sliders and crinkle-cut fries. The sliders can feature hamburger, chicken, fish, or Impossible patties.

The burger chain started in 1921 and has over 300 locations around the world.

Since day one, our goal here at The Copper Courier has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Arizona families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
