VANDALIA — White Castle is planning to expand its retail manufacturing plant in Vandalia.

The $27 million investment will ultimately add 75 new jobs and double the size of the facility, according to a release.

White Castle officials said the building will also be renamed, which will be revealed during a groundbreaking ceremony set to tale place Tuesday, July 13.
