Crisp & Green to Open in Papillion, Nebraska

CRISP & GREEN, the wellness brand known for connecting food, fitness and community, is continuing its Nebraska expansion with the grand opening of its newest restaurant in Papillion. Marking the third greater Omaha location, the new location further strengthens the brand’s presence in the suburbs of Omaha as demand for fresh, better-for-you dining options continues to grow.

“Omaha continues to be a key part of our growth story, and expanding into Papillion reflects the momentum we are building as we strengthen our presence across the region,” said Steele Smiley, Founder and Executive Chairman of CRISP & GREEN. “We’re proud to partner with franchisees who are passionate about bringing healthier, more convenient dining options to their communities.

The new Papillion restaurant will be owned and operated by Rontu Inc., led by franchisee Brent Bunz, who has been a CRISP & GREEN franchise partner since 2025. The group currently owns and operates the brand’s Dodge Street and West Omaha locations and plans to continue expanding throughout the Nebraska market into 2027, bringing CRISP & GREEN’s chef-crafted menu and wellness-focused mission to even more communities.

“Our Omaha restaurants have received an incredible response, and we’re excited to continue growing alongside the community with our new Papillion location,” said Brent Bunz, CRISP & GREEN Papillion Franchisee. “Opening in Papillion allows us to serve even more guests who are looking for fresh, flavorful meals that fit into their active lifestyles, while continuing to grow the CRISP & GREEN community across the region.”

CRISP & GREEN’s expansion is underpinned by a unique model that balances corporate-owned restaurants with a growing roster of franchise partners, ensuring consistency in execution while scaling quickly to meet demand. Since its founding in 2016, CRISP & GREEN has carved out a distinctive niche in the healthy fast-casual space, blending chef-crafted convenience with a commitment to wellbeing, community and fitness. From craveable grain bowls, protein-packed sandwiches, hearty salads, low carb wraps, functional smoothies and more, every menu item is designed to energize every lifestyle.

More than just a restaurant, CRISP & GREEN has become a wellness hub where guests gather to fuel body and mind.
