## Story

Crisp & Green has been named one of the fastest-growing chains in the United States. The concept specializes in creating personalized meals using fresh, seasonal ingredients, all served in a welcoming and community focused environment.

For the first time in the brand’s history, Crisp & Green has been included on the annual Technomic 500 List, the industry’s leading performance tracker, published independently since 1974.

Crisp & Green was founded in 2016 by Steele Smiley, the franchisor's founder and executive chairman. Smiley, a fitness industry veteran, originally created the company with one simple mission: to bring healthy, delicious and convenient food to his community. “Crisp & Green started with a very simple idea to make it easier for people to live a healthier life. We’ve created food that not only tastes amazing, but fuels our guest’s active and busy lifestyles.”

Crisp & Green has partnered with Oakscale Franchise Partners.

With wellness as its guiding principle, CRISP & GREEN's culinary team remains dedicated to nourishing the needs of the community across the entire made-from-scratch, chef-crafted menu, from newly introduced Hero Wraps to beloved grain bowls, signature salads, acai bowls and smoothies.
