Posted on February 2, 2009
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Fast food icon Krystal is celebrating Valentine’s Day all month long this February with the introduction of its new Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry MilkQuake and the announcement of its Top Krystal Lovers Love Stories of 2009.
Available now at Krystal restaurants systemwide, the new Valentine’s Day-themed MilkQuake offers Krystal guests a deliciously thick and creamy new treat to enjoy throughout the official month of love while five couples from across the South will be recognized on Valentine’s Day for tales of love connections being made and romances kept alive thanks to Krystal’s famous hot and steamy menu items.
“We are very lucky to have such a loyal following of Krystal Lovers, and it’s no surprise that with a countless number of visits to our restaurants, many of these fans fall in love with more than just our tasty little, square Krystals,” said Brad Wahl, vice president, The Krystal Company. “We encourage and even reward these fun love stories, which is why Krystal is celebrating the month of love with an intimate Krystal Dinner Package for seven special couples. We can’t think of anything more romantic this Valentine’s Day holiday than sharing our new Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry MilkQuake at Krystal.”
Krystal’s Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry MilkQuake is made with all-natural ingredients including premium vanilla ice cream and real strawberry puree all mixed with HERSHEY’S Magic Shell and topped with light, airy whipped cream. The Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry MilkQuake is served in a 20 oz. cup at the suggested price of $2.99.
Individually made to order, the Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry MilkQuake is a decadent new flavor addition to the company’s already popular line of premium milkshakes, which includes traditional milkshake flavors Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry, and for a limited time, the French Vanilla MilkQuake, a rich and creamy milkshake perfect for the true vanilla lover.
While new romances are blossoming over the Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry MilkQuakes, five couples who have sealed their love with a Krystal will receive special recognition from the company as having the best “Krystal Lovers Love Stories” of 2009. Selected from hundreds of emails, the chosen couples will each receive a romantic Krystal Lovers’ Dinner package perfect for this Valentine’s Day.
The special gift will contain all the necessary ingredients needed to create an intimate dinner at the couple’s favorite Krystal restaurant, including a $100 Krystal Gift Card, linen tablecloth and napkins, candles and more.
“Krystal Lovers” Love Stores for Valentine’s Day 2009:
A Dozen Cheese Krystals for Valentine’s Day
Red roses on Valentine’s Day – it’s so cliché. Don’t all women want a significant other who puts a little more thought into the gift? Well, Nanette Davis of Calhoun, Ga. is lucky to be married to a man who does just that. And even better, her husband Ronnie is smart enough to know that the way to woman’s heart is always through her stomach, which is why Davis gets a dozen Cheese Krystals from her hubby every year. Combine his genius rationale with the best food in town and you’ve got one hot and steamy Valentine’s Day – literally.
Love at First Sight of Krystal
How do you know when you’ve got a keeper? First dates are usually too soon to tell, but Gina Nelson of Macon, Ga. knew exactly how to win the keys to her husband Paul’s heart. They had it all planned out – tickets to the rodeo with friends and dinner afterwards, but all the restaurants were closed except Krystal. Paul didn’t have to ask her twice. Turns out she’s been a Krystal Lover all her life. He said, “I knew Gina was a keeper when her eyes lit up like Krystal’s ‘hot-off-the-grill’ neon sign!” The couple ordered a Sackful and took them back to the house to enjoy with friends. Still today, Krystal remains a part of their anniversary tradition.
Krystal Cravings Create Romance
Many couples have monthly date nights, maybe even weekly, but several times a week? It must be true love, right? Well, it’s definitely a true love of something. Morgan and Ashley Geoghagan agree that they enjoy spending time together, but their craving for Krystal is the main reason for all those evenings alone. Morgan states, “Our love for Krystal keeps our relationship alive and for us, there’s nothing more romantic than that.”
A Krystal Lover’s Dream Wedding
Southerners are known for crazy groom’s cakes that are themed with a favorite football team or mascot, but the bride usually keeps it traditional. On the contrary, Megan Rucker of Rockwood, Tenn. proved this theory wrong. There was nothing conventional about her wedding cake and not one of Rucker’s guests complained. And how could they with a gigantic three-tiered tower of little, square tasty Krystals cooked to perfection, topped with a miniature bride and groom? It was a Krystal Lover’s dream and for Megan and Todd Rucker – a Krystal Lover’s dream wedding.
The Krystal Secret to 20 Years of Marriage
Twenty years – that’s a long time to be married. People always ask, “What’s the secret?” Fortunately, Travis and Tammy Holder of Lewisburg, Tenn. know the answer: “A little bit of love and whole lot of Krystals!” In August of 1988, Holder took his new wife to the local Krystal in Murfreesboro, Tenn. to eat their first dinner as a married couple, which soon became a ritual for the two. Only 20 short years later, Travis Holder took his wife back to Krystal to celebrate another milestone with his wife – their 20th wedding anniversary. He lovingly stated, “This is the place where I plan to be another 20 years from now.”
The Krystal Company
Founded in 1932, Krystal restaurants have become more than sparkling-clean eateries where friendly employees serve up fresh, delicious food. Krystal has become a cultural icon and an experience that virtually every man, woman and child in the South has shared. The Krystal brand – and the great food, service, value and setting that it represents – has taken a prominent place in the South’s cultural landscape. The Krystal Company is the oldest quick service restaurant chain in the South and the second oldest in the United States. The Chattanooga, Tenn.-based company currently has nearly 400 restaurants in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
