White Castle employees cook their slider burgers before delivering them at the U.S. Capitol to celebrate the company's 90th anniversary with a "Castles at the Capitol" event June 14, 2011 in Washington, DC.

White Castle lovers rejoice! The "home to the Original Slider" is finally coming to the Grand Canyon State.

The family-owned company announced plans to open its first chain in Arizona. In a release, White Castle said its Arizona restaurant is targeted to open in 2019 and will bring 50 to 75 new jobs to the area.

The restaurant, according to the company, will also be "the first White Castle family owned location west of the Mississippi River."

“For years, Cravers in Arizona have been asking us to feed their souls by bringing our delicious sliders to the state, and we’re happy to announce that we’re going to make this dream a reality,” Jamie Richardson, vice president at White Castle, said in a release.
