Krystal Returning To Sparta

Sparta will get another restaurant soon.

Last week a billboard announcing the return of Krystal went up along Bockman Way.

Tuesday, City Administrator Chris Dorsey confirmed a franchisee has applied for a city business license.

“They have applied for a business license and they are going to occupy the old site Krystal used to be in before they shut down, I think that was in 2012, right over here on Bockman Way,” Dorsey said.

Dorsey said the new store owner hasn’t applied for any construction permits to renovate the building at this time, but it’s still encouraging news.

“We can always use a few extra places to eat here in sparta so we’re very happy they’ve come back to give us another choice to be able to spend our food dollars,” Dorsey said.

The former Krystal location has been the home of several coffee shops in the last four years.
