My first real job was working for Krystal in Jacksonville Florida in 1971.

It was privately family owned then.............

Just curious, but has the management or corporate ownership changed in the past few years? Often, a venture capitalist type takeover (and corporate raiding) precede the demise of an old established company like Kyrstal.

Just checked them out. Seem like White Castle.
Perhaps Harold and Kumar could go there. Couldn’t hurt.
I really love WC’s crave case. And their krinckly cut fries.
