The closure stems from an acquisition by the company from the local licensee. As part of that deal, White Castle is buying three of the five Southern Nevada locations.

Those locations include four in the Las Vegas valley and one in Jean, Nevada.

While the company is buying three locations, the other two will close: the restaurant at Casino Royale, and the one located on Marks Street in Henderson.

The three other locations, one on Las Vegas Boulevard across the street from the Hard Rock Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, one on Paradise Road and Harmon Avenue, and the location in Jean, will remain open.

White Castle’s Chief Marketing Officer Jamie Richardson said employees who work at the two closing locations were offered the opportunity to continue working at White Castle.

“White Castle is buying three of the five existing White Castle locations from its local Las Vegas licensee,” Richardson’s full statement read. “Two of the locations will close. All employees at the Castles that are closing have been offered the opportunity to continue working with White Castle. White Castle is thankful for a great partnership with the local licensee and excited to be the new owner of three locations in Vegas.”

White Castle is an American restaurant chain that specializes in small, square burgers sold by the sack. Founded in 1921, it is credited as the world’s first fast food hamburger chain.

It was not immediately made clear when the two locations would close.
