DENNY DID IT TODAY IN ONE OF THOSE STUDEBAKERS


Current NASCAR

The #11 was about as dialed in as I've ever seen a car. He made a shambles of an already pretty boring event.

Krystal moving headquarters to Atlanta

By Leon Stafford

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Burger chain Krystal announced Wednesday it is moving its headquarters to Atlanta from Chattanooga, the companys birthplace.

The restaurant giant, which was acquired earlier this year by Atlanta-based private equity firm Argonne Capital Group, said it will relocate its corporate office, called the Restaurant Support Center, to an undisclosed location in North Atlanta sometime in early 2013.

The RSC headquarters employs about 60 workers, the majority of whom will have the option to apply for new positions in the Atlanta office or receive severance packages and job search assistance if they decide not to relocate, the company said.

Chattanooga has been a wonderful home for Krystal, and we appreciate the support of the community, Krystals president and chief executive officer Doug Pendergast said in a release.

Our five-year plan calls for aggressive new store growth and Atlanta provides a more central location with access to the one of the countrys largest airports, he said. Our new support center will enable us to provide better support to our existing restaurants and to accelerate new restaurant development across the southeast.

Krystal, known for its small bite-sized burgers, was placed on the market in the summer of 2011. It has more than 6,000 employees and owns and franchises 350 restaurants in 11 Southern states.

The companys decision to move to Atlanta is a switch from previous statements on the matter. Krystal leaders said the headquarters would remain in Chattanooga when the sale to Argonne was announced in March.

Staley's in Winston-Salem was a wonderful place to eat (RJR always picked up the tab, lol!) and the two Peddlers I ever ate at - one at the Morehead City, NC Marina and the other in Spartanburg were both good. Are those guys still in business?

I'd settle for an old Shoney's Big Boy, back in the day when they still were licensed to sell that product.

I think the Krystal Kritters found new work at NASCAR as their alter ego NASCUBS!

Back in the 90s, those cheesy folk actually came to the track, courtesy of the NASCAR Marketing Dept. That may have signaled the beginning of the end for NASCAR.

I'm afraid I'll have to choose Golden Corral, Western Sizzlin or Outback over Quincys. I really detested that place.

Now y'all got me salivating for some snacks, like the Big Mama Meats Hot Sausage, Penrose Sausage or Slim Jims that used to adorn the Busch cars of Steve Grissom and Bobby Labonte.

Photos?
