A Krystal hamburger

Krystal burgers 25 cents tonight

The Krystal fast-food chain that opened its first restaurant in Chattanooga 81 years ago today is celebrating its birthday tonight by offering its name-brand hamburger for only 25 cents from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Guests are asked to limit six Krystals or six Cheese Krystals per customer and are encouraged to come early as lines are anticipated.

Krystal, which relocated its headquarters from Chattanooga to Atlanta earlier this year, plans to expand to include 500 or more stores within the next few years.
