Krystal was founded in 1932 and is the second-oldest quick-serve restaurant in the country. Krystal�s menu features the Krystal hamburger, a fresh, hot, small and uniquely square product with its own niche in the burger industry.

To customers, Krystal is famous for the �little food with the big taste,� but to franchisees Krystal offers even bigger opportunities. Krystal has introduced a new, contemporary restaurant design that pays homage to the traditional Krystal look, but is more efficient to build. Its menu has also been streamlined, using the original Krystal burger to gain a stronger marketing position. In addition, Krystal is aggressively pursuing expansion by granting multiunit franchises, providing franchisees with the perfect growth vehicles.
