Southern slider brand Krystal has opened a corporate store in Walterboro, South Carolina. The brand is offering $1 Krystal sliders in-store through Thursday, July 17, when a grand opening celebration is expected to be held, according to a press release.

The July 17 event will kick off with a 10:45 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring local dignitaries, the Walterboro-Colleton Chamber of Commerce and performances by area high school cheerleaders. The celebration will also include spin-the-wheel games, prize giveaways and a live radio remote from the parking lot.

"Krystal's been a Southern staple for more than 90 years, and we're proud to continue growing in South Carolina," Kaitlin Stoehr, senior director of marketing at Krystal, said in the release. "The energy in Walterboro is incredible, and we're looking forward to welcoming guests into this beautiful new space. Offering $1 Krystals is our way of saying thank you to the community and a fun celebration for both our loyal fans and those visiting us for the first time."

The Walterboro location marks Krystal's fifth restaurant in South Carolina, joining existing stores in North Augusta, Aiken, Gaffney and Orangeburg. The Orangeburg location, co-owned by Charlamagne Tha God, opened in December 2024 and introduced several exclusive menu items — including Chicken Nuggets and the Sausage or Bacon, Egg and Cheese Waffle Sandwich — that have since launched systemwide.

Krystal is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The brand has expanded to 11 states with nearly 300 restaurants.
