The QSR market is increasingly expanding its offerings to adapt to consumer preferences, which is evident with new options like the Krystal Snack. The value-focused menu offering from the brand includes a signature Krystal Slider along with a small order of fries or tots for just $1.99. This makes the new offering perfect for grabbing between meals or even in multiples as a low-cost lunch or dinner.
The Krystal Snack is being launched alongside a new campaign with actor, singer and TV personality Ray J to get the word out that the brand's locations are back to being open late once again. The late-night commercials were filmed in Atlanta and will be airing across the US starting soon, while the Krystal Snack will only be around for a limited-time.
