White Castle (restaurant)
White Castles succes førte til mange efterlignere. Restauranterne kopierede White Castle-bygningenes karakteristiske arkitektur og skabte forvirring hos forbrugerne ved at bruge et lignende navn. Den første af disse efterlignere i Wichita var Little Kastle. Mange konkurrenter skabte deres navne med et spil på White Castle-navnet. Nogle restaurantkæder erstattede blot ordet "Castle" med deres eget ord (Cabin, Cap, Clock, Crescent, Diamond, Dome, Fortress, Grille, House, Hut, Kitchen, Knight, Log, Log, Manna, Mill, Palace, Plaza, Shop, Spot, Tavern, Tower, Turret, Wonder), mens andre valgte at erstatte "White" med et andet ord (Blue, King's, Little, Magic, Modern, Prince's, Red, Royal, Silver). Nogle af de andre efterlignere var bl.a. Castle Blanca, Blue Beacon, Blue Bell, Blue Tower, Red Barn, Red Lantern og Klover Kastle. Trods al konkurrencen var ingen af konkurrenterne i stand til at matche White Castle's succes.
