Glenn Sherrill. It survived through the great depression years with the theory that “People would patronize a restaurant that was kept spotlessly clean, where they could get a good meal with courteous service at the lowest possible prize.” Today, crystal has over 420 locations in 11 states ( Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia & Arkansas) and sales more than 239 million hamburgers a year.
