Krystal® & TABASCO® Partnership Makes History in the South
Krystal® Donates Art Piece to the TABASCO® Museum on Avery Island
ATLANTA, July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- When two brands with close to 231 years of combined history between them decide to team up – you can be certain that the results will be unforgettable. Such has been the case with two of the South's most famous brands The Krystal Company® and TABASCO® brand. The two brands partnered to create a special "Fired Up" menu featuring the hot and spicy flavors Southerners love to the Krystal sandwiches they can't get enough of.
In the spirit of this collaboration, The Krystal Company commissioned a piece of photo artwork as unique as the partnership itself. The 3D lenticular image showcases the legendary heritage of the brands in a contemporary format. The artwork, Southern Squared, will be one of the premiere pieces in the all-new TABASCO® Museum. The unveiling will be held on Avery Island in Louisiana on Thursday, August 4, at 9:00 a.m. with a presentation from Krystal's Chief Executive Officer, Omar Janjua. The Krystal Cruiser will also be on hand at the event with a selection of tasty treats from the special "Fired-Up" menu which features classic Krystal products topped with cheese sauce infused with TABASCO® Sauce. The TABASCO® Museum is calling all Krystal and TABASCO® lovers to join us at the unveiling to try the products, view the exhibit and witness history being made with these two iconic brands.
"TABASCO® brand and Krystal both call the South their home," says Janjua. "The dedication of McIlhenny Company and how it has kept the brand within the family for generations is inspiring. We are proud to be a part of the impactful story of McIlhenny Company and are honored to be able to make a gift from Krystal to the museum."
Krystal's gift makes it the first entity to create an item specifically for display in the TABASCO® Museum. This fascinating new museum is filled with McIlhenny family artifacts and original TABASCO® products. It explains how the TABASCO® brand got its start and how it evolved over its roughly century-and-a-half history. Krystal's hope is that its gift will become a milestone in the ongoing TABASCO® story and an exciting element of the museum that both Krystal and TABASCO® fans can enjoy.
