The radio host is opening the first of several Krystal burger joints in the state in Orangeburg.
Charlamagne Tha God is returning to his home state South Carolina, to open his first Krystal fast-food restaurant.
The popular radio and TV personality has teamed up with Atlanta-based burger chain Krystal to open several locations in South Carolina, starting with a location in Orangeburg, Post and Courier reports. The first restaurant is set to soft open on Dec. 9 at 1486 Chestnut St.
“Orangeburg is special to us because it’s the home of South Carolina State University, my mother’s alma mater, while my wife’s father is an alumni of Claflin University,” Charlamagne said. “I also have an honorary degree from SCSU, where I established the Ford Family Endowed Scholarship Fund, so it’s a blessing to continue this mission of providing opportunities and jobs to South Carolinians.”
He added, “It’s always an amazing feeling to come back and give back. I hope the community will enjoy my favorite eats from Krystal for years to come!”
“Charlamagne’s cultural impact speaks for itself, and bringing his energy to Krystal’s newest location is a game-changer,” Krystal parent company SPB Hospitality CEO Josh Kern said.
