Krystal (restaurant)

History
Krystal was founded in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1932 by Rody Davenport Jr. and his partner J. Glenn Sherrill. They were inspired by the success of White Castle and sought to create a similar fast-food chain in the South. The name "Krystal" was derived from the notion of the food being so good, customers would see it as "crystal clear" in quality.

Other items on the menu include chicken sandwiches, Krystal Chiks, Krystal Pups (hot dogs), corn dogs, and breakfast items.
