Darn. Can't figure out why Krystal can't make it here. You go to other Southern cities like Knoxville they are plentiful.
Krystal has entered and exited the market a few times. Isn’t Tennessee its home base, so perhaps it has more recognition there? Kind of like Belk and Harris Teeter in Atlanta: a hometown favorite can struggle in a market where customers already have entrenched preferences, I’d guess.

I seriously doubt White Castle will ever enter this market. Will have to keep enjoying the frozen ones from the grocery store. I have even seen the frozen 2-pack ones in some Dollar Tree stores.
Krystal was HQ'd in Chattanooga originally I believe and now moved to Atlanta.

correct...I was living in Chattanooga when they moved to ATL...this was about 10 year ago
I actually witnessed the "Krystal Square Off" where Joey Chestnut consumed 103 Krystals in 2007

I ate at the one on Woodruff once.. That was enough for me. Don't know if that was just a bad one or I'm just not a fan of Krystal.. but.. Not shedding any tears that they're gone.

As with everything I am sure there are some that didn't like it. Krystal and White Castle still seem to have a huge cult like following.
I think they made a huge mistake here not keeping the drive-thru window open overnight for the late night party crowd. When I lived in Knoxville the line would be around the building at 2 or 3 in the morning for sacks of Krystal's sliders although it is a huge university town. One of the few choices you have here is Waffle House for late night partiers and workers.
If I recall correctly they had a deal with Spinx a few years back to go in Spinx locations. I remember them saying they wanted locations close to Downtown too for the late night crowd.

Anyone care to speculate what will go there? I think that spot won't stay empty long.
If I had to guess, I would say either a car wash or a storage facility.
