The Krystal Company
 PROFILE
The Krystal Company believes that good things come in small packages. With more than 400 Krystal restaurants across the Southeast (about one-third are franchised), the company is legendary for its petite, square hamburgers. The restaurants also serve chili cheese fries, lemon meringue pie, and breakfast items. The Krystal Company, which has launched a growth campaign to double its size in five years, also offers frozen hamburgers and cheeseburgers through grocery stores such as Albertson's and Kroger. The founding Davenport family sold the company in 1997 to CEO Philip Sanford's Port Royal Holdings investment group. Trivia buffs know that country singer Crystal Gayle borrowed her name from the restaurant chain.
