The healthy fast casual brand is slated to open in Bentonville in April, marking the first of five CRISP &#038; GREEN restaurants planned for The Natural State. Underpinned by growing consumer demand for healthy and convenient food options, the Bentonville location will catapult CRISP &#038; GREEN into its busiest year to date, in which it is expected to more than double its restaurant count across 15 states in 2023 alone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we embark on our most ambitious development year in company history, our CRISP &#038; GREEN mission remains as it was when we began: to provide world-class food and hospitality for our guests, and become an integral part of their local communities,\u201d said Steele Smiley, founder and Executive Chairman of STEELE BRANDS. \u201cWe are strategically growing with dedicated franchise partners who are as invested in the brand and community as we are \u2013 with the same conviction for improving the lives of our many guests through nourishing food and a warm, welcoming place to gather in their own communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the Bentonville opening, Arkansas will become CRISP &#038; GREEN\u2019s eighth state \u2013 a number the brand is on pace to double before year\u2019s end.
