White Castle partners with Chicago skate rink to offer half-price skating
June 5, 2023
White Castle is covering 50% of the cost of skating (including skate rental) at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Roller Skating Rink in Chicago on Wednesday evenings throughout the month of June, according to a press release.
The total cost of skating and skate rentals will be $7 per person from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Each paid admission will also receive Slider coupons and White Castle swag. This event is open to all members of the community.
"White Castle is looking to get summer in Chicago off to a fantastic start, and we thought this partnership to provide the community a fun-filled, interactive activity was the perfect opportunity to lend a hand," Jamie Richardson, vice president at White Castle, said in the press release. "We know the roller-skating culture runs deep in Chicago, and we're looking forward to helping families create memorable moments this month."
The burger brand will also make a $7,000 donation to the Chicago Park District on behalf of all the White Castle Wednesday skaters. The gift will support 100 kids participating in CPD summer camps.
"The White Castle family, through the Castle Shares program, supports more than 50 charities each year," Erin Shannon, White Castle's corporate relations manager and fourth-generation family member, said in the press release. "We're a family-owned business with hundreds of team members who not only work in the Castles in the community, but live and raise their families there, too. We are always looking for ways to give back to the communities we proudly serve."
White Castle operates more than 350 restaurants as well as a retail division.
