State-Of-The-Art Krystal To Feature Innovative Design Elements and Exciting New Menu Choices

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Krystal, the fast food icon famous for its fresh, hot, small, square hamburgers and big-taste menu items, breaks ground on its first restaurant in Brandenton, Fla. Set to open this winter, the state-of-the-art Krystal will be situated at 3180 First Street.

The state-of-the-art Krystal will showcase the company’s new sleek, stylish interior and modern design in addition to a full-service dine-in area, advanced drive-thru ordering technology, credit card and debit payment options, free Wi-Fi Internet access and Krystal’s delicious, new menu choices.

The franchise group, Diamante Foods, will operate the new Krystal in Bradenton. The company also operates three additional Krystal restaurants in the Tampa area and one more location in Ft. Lauderdale.

“We’re excited to help grow Krystal’s presence in Florida by bringing in a new Krystal restaurant that will feature an exciting new menu with big taste food items you can’t get anywhere else, all at an exceptional value,” said Jorge Berlingeri of Diamante Foods Franchise Group. “With the closest Krystal location being more than 30 miles away, we’re delighted to give Bradenton a Krystal all its own so that no Krystal craving goes unsatisfied.”

The fast food icon’s full line-up of signature products that are distinctive in size and shape, served fresh and hot off the grill will be offered at the new Krystal in Bradenton. Among these popular items includes the famous Krystal Hamburger, steamed with fresh onions and topped with mustard and a pickle; the Krystal Chik, made with 100% whole breast chicken filet and served on the famous small, square bun; the Krystal Pup, a Krystal-sized hot dog served with or without chili; and Breakfast Scramblers, a line-up of traditional plate breakfasts stacked smartly in a bowl and conveniently enjoyed scrambled up or layer by layer.

The restaurant’s menu will also contain a number of innovative beverage items that are a perfect complement to any Krystal meal. The newest menu addition is The Krystal Blitz, the industry’s first branded energy drink that comes made-to-order “Frozen” or “On The Rocks” in a refreshing Lemon Berry flavor. Krystal’s new line of MilkQuakes, real ice cream milkshakes made with premium, all-natural ingredients, and Krystal Freezes, the company’s new frozen slush drink made from pure-cane sugar and fruit flavorings, are just two more exciting new drink options guests can enjoy year round at the Bradenton Krystal.

    I desire employment with your new store opening soon in Bradenton, FLorida. I’ve tried various links on the Krystal website and I can’t seem to get them to load. My previous employment was with Hungry Howies Pizza And Subs which is within close vicinity and my employment lasted from November 22, 2005 until October 15th of 2009. Please contact me with information on how I can get a headstart on applying. My email is with google or yahoo. Here it is: jodilstevens@gmail.com or jodilstevens@yahoo.com. My home phone here in Bradenton is 941-753-5600. While I was with Hungry Howies, I had a perfect attendance record and I held all positions in the kitchen from taking phone orders to making fresh dough to stocking supplies and running cash registers and greeting customers and helping in the dining room. I also set up the salad, pizza, and soup buffets and maintained them as well as loaded and caught all buffet and delivery to pick up orders coming out of the oven. I did whatever was required to fulfull a successful business day. I would love to be a team member at this new location in Bradenton from day 1. Please tell me how I can apply. Thank you for your cooperation.

    Growing up in Orlando, Fl. I had the pleasure of knowing what a Krystal burger was all about. When I moved to Bradenton,Fl. I always felt as though somehting was missing from the fastfood chain. Krystals is exactly was this towns been missing. I’m very interested in the employment oppurtunities that a company like Krystals can offer a person like me. Since 1999 I have worked in the fastfood industy and I would like to continue in this field; I have worked for Denny’s, Friendly’s, Taco Bell, and McDonald’s If I could be emailed some information on how to apply it would be greatly appreciated, eamil address: cmblaugh@hotmail.com or phone# 941 301-5317.
