Krystal Expands With Four New Locations

Krystal Restaurants LLC is expanding with the recent opening of two new locations and plans to unveil two more within the next month.

The expansion began with a new restaurant in Mableton, Georgia, followed by a mid-May opening in Calera, Alabama with a new franchisee. The next restaurant will debut in Wilson, North Carolina on June 24, marking Krystal’s entry into the Tar Heel State, a key market for future growth. Additionally, Krystal’s largest franchisee will open a new location in Arab, Alabama in July.

The Mableton and Arab locations feature Krystal’s traditional fast-service layout, while the Calera and Wilson locations are integrated into convenience stores in collaboration with Circle K and Valero. The innovative C-store format maximizes space efficiency, enhances guest accessibility and creates a symbiotic operational flow between the restaurant and its convenience store partners.

“The future is bright for Krystal,” said Josh Kern, CEO of Krystal and SPB Hospitality. “The dedication of our franchise partners is crucial to our expansion, and our collaboration with them ensures we serve our guests efficiently and effectively.”
