Opening date announced for new Krystal

JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) - Northeast Arkansas foodies longing for Krystal’s square burger sliders will not have to wait much longer.

Nearly 18 months after Haag Brown Commercial Real Estate and Development said Krystal would return to Jonesboro, the company announced Monday the restaurant will open on May 23.

“As the opening date draws closer, local owners have almost completed their new crew roster,” Haag Brown stated. “However, some positions may still be available.”

The previous Jonesboro location closed in 2002.
