List & Jon Wennerberg -
White Castle did not start selling its burgers in Columbus, Ohio -
however, the home office is in Columbus. Walt Anderson started White Castle in
1921 here in Wichita, Kansas at the corner of 1st and Main streets.
After selling the business to investors, Anderson started another Wichita
business - a restaraunt chain known as "Kings X" - which remains a popular
eating place here in Doodah. There are no longer any White Castles here in
Wichita, but one of the buildings still stands on Maple near Friends
University doing business for the last 50 years as "Whattaburger".
