White Castle (restaurant)
Framgången för White Castle ledde till många efterföljare. Restauranger kopierade White Castle-byggnaderna och skapade förvirring hos konsumenterna genom att använda ett liknande namn. Den första av dessa efterföljare i Wichita var Little Kastle. Många konkurrenter skapade sina namn genom att spela på White Castle-namnet. Vissa restaurangkedjor ersatte bara ordet "Castle" med ett 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) medan andra valde att ersätta "White" med ett annat (Blue, King's, Little, Magic, Modern, Prince's, Red, Royal, Silver). Några av de andra imitatörerna var Castle Blanca, Blue Beacon, Blue Bell, Blue Tower, Red Barn, Red Lantern och Klover Kastle. Trots all konkurrens kunde ingen av konkurrenterna mäta sig med White Castles framgång.
