## Story

“Shawn and Andrew represent exactly who CRISP & GREEN is built for – people who want food that works as hard as they do,” said Steele Smiley, Founder and Executive Chairman of CRISP & GREEN. “They genuinely believe in what we’re building and the direction we’taking this brand. Nashville is an important market for us, and partnering with two people who live, work and raise their family there makes this collaboration especially meaningful.”

“We’re partnering with CRISP & GREEN because the brand is truly pioneering what healthy eating looks like today: real food, incredible flavor and options that fit every part of our lives,” said Johnson East. “We were CRISP & GREEN fans long before this partnership, and it’s one of the few places where our entire family can find something we genuinely feel good about eating.”

“Being based in Nashville, it means a lot to support a brand that’s investing in our community and helping redefine how people think about fueling their day. We’re selective about the brands we align with, and this partnership felt authentic from day one.”
