Once again White Castle proves that integrated branded
messaging drives customer relevance according to Steven Johnson, Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA
based Foodservice Solutions® when they unveiled
the design for its 2018 commemorative ceramic mugs for the holiday season.
The
mugs, which are released annually, feature a new, custom design by
award-winning fashion prodigy and lifelong Craver,
Telfar Clemens. The mugs are now available in restaurants for just $5.99,
with net proceeds benefitting the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights bail fund for
school-age youth held on Rikers Island.
Jamie Richardson, vice president at White Castle stated
“For many years, White Castle has enjoyed producing these one-of-a-kind mugs
for White Castle customers and fans everywhere to add to collections or pick up
as a quick and fun gift for others,”
Richardson continued “This year, we’re particularly
excited to be able to bring our Cravers a custom design by our close friend and
partner, Telfar Clemens, the brains behind the TELFAR fashion line and our bold
and beautiful uniforms worn every day by thousands of team members nationwide.”
In 2017, White Castle announced a wide-ranging
partnership with the independent, young label to reimagine and design original
uniforms for White Castle’s nearly 400 restaurants and 10,000 team members. The
partnership also includes various extensions, such as the new collectable mug
design and even a limited-edition streetwear collection which sold out within
days after launch.
Following the successful rollout of the reimagined
team uniforms, White Castle was quick to induct Clemens and his creative
partner, Babak Radboy, into the most exclusive fast food fan club in existence,
the Cravers Hall of Fame. The TELFAR team joins other high-profile celebrity
Cravers in the hall of fame like rock and roll icon, Alice Cooper, and the
stars of “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle,” John Cho and Kal Penn.
Since the partnership began, Telfar has designed
and produced two sets of White Castle team member uniforms, taking inspiration
from White Castle’s originality and integrity. Clemens is currently producing a
third line of uniforms to be released in 2019.
