Krystal is kicking off football season with new Game Day Bundles designed to feed watch parties, tailgates and hungry football fans. The fall lineup also features an updated Chik inspired by guest feedback along with Pumpkin Spice Glaze Bombs, two new pumpkin spice beverages and Loaded Chili.

“Football weekends have a way of bringing people together, especially in the South, where both football and Krystal have deep roots,” said Kaitlin Kees, Senior Director of Marketing at Krystal. “Our Game Day Tailgate Bundles are built for exactly that — easy, craveable food to share at a great value, whether you’re headed to a tailgate or watching the game at home.”

Krystal is giving The Chik an update based on guest feedback this fall, bringing back the softer breading and more pronounced pepper flavor guests told the brand they missed.

“Our guests have been clear about what they wanted from The Chik, and we listened,” Kees said. “They know the Chik they love, and we wanted to give them what they’ve been asking for.”

Krystal is rounding out its fall lineup with three new pumpkin spice offerings. Fan-favorite Glaze Bombs are getting a fall makeover with a sweet pumpkin spice glaze, available in four- and 10-count orders. Two new seasonal sips join the lineup: a Pumpkin Spice Milkshake made with vanilla soft serve and pumpkin spice, and Pumpkin Spice Hot Coffee with cream and pumpkin spice flavor.

Krystal’s Chili also returns this fall — but this season, it’s loaded. New Loaded Chili is topped with cheese, jalapeños and sour cream, with a bag of Fritos on the side for an extra crunch.

Fans can order Game Day Tailgate Bundles ahead through the Krystal app or online, with the First Down Feast and Championship Feast available exclusively through digital ordering. Club Krystal members can also access exclusive offers throughout the season.
