The Krystal Company has been serving guests since 1932.
Krystal is the craveable indulgence that’s there for you and your crew with consistent, affordable, and downright delicious meals served hot and fresh, day and night.
Founders Rody Davenport Jr. and Glenn Sherrill believed that a good meal at a great price—served with a smile at a clean restaurant—would attract customers and keep them coming back. Krystal has proven them right ever since. Sure, we stick to the classics, but over the years, we’ve never been afraid to innovate, adding a breakfast menu, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, milkshakes (and more) to our enduring selection of delicious, iconic, little square burgers.
We operate 44 Krystal's in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Tennessee. We are the longest tenured franchisee in the Krystal system. We have been in business since 1990. Our most important goal is customer satisfaction and employees that enjoy their jobs.
