Krystal is a hamburger restaurant chain in the Southeastern United States. It is known for fresh, small square sandwiches, and is often compared to (and thought to have been inspired by) the similar restaurant, White Castle.
Founded October 24, 1932 in Chattanooga, Tennessee in the middle of the Great Depression, entrepreneur Rody Davenport Jr. and partner J. Glenn Sherrill theorized that even in a severe economic upheaval, "people would patronize a restaurant that was kept spotlessly clean, where they could get a good meal with courteous service at the lowest possible price." Krystal is the second oldest hamburger chain in the United States and the oldest in the Southeast. Krystal maintains corporate headquarters in Chattanooga, Tennessee and has been owned by Port Royal Holdings, Inc. since 1997.
Krystal restaurants, both company owned and franchised, operate in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
Its burgers are also distributed in frozen boxes by grocery stores nationwide.
Krystal is one of the few fast food restaurants to offer free wireless Internet access to customers with a laptop computer. Known as "The Krystal HotSpot," the service (as of mid 2004) is available at 50 of the store's total 425 restaurants for use by any computer equipped with an 802.11b Wi-Fi wireless network card.
