Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery & Grill the nation’s largest Caribbean owned franchise chain, will introduce a low priced meal alternative to customers starting July 1st to August 31st on two of its top-selling menu items. Dubbed the “$2.99 Recession Special” for good reason…. the franchise chain is joining the cause to help customers keep money in their pockets by offering a “snacker” meal of curry or stew chicken served with rice & peas for under $3.
According to GK President & CEO Lowell Hawthorne, this promotion is well-timed, as customers become more discerning about where and how they spend the limited funds at their disposal. “Golden Krust wants to send a strong message that we are alert to the economic challenges being faced by our valued customers and that we are here to serve”, he said.
Now in its 20th year of operation, Golden Krust will also roll out another promotion in August this time on its #1 seller ….Beef Patty. On August 22, the day set aside to mark the company’s anniversary, the first 100 customers in every Golden Krust nationwide, will be able to buy a Mild or Spicy Jamaican-style Beef Patty for only 20cents.
Golden Krust began operation in 1989 with one store located on East Gun Hill Rd in the Bronx and soon spread rapidly throughout the boroughs of New York offering authentic taste of the Caribbean. Customers developed a love affair with the freshly baked Jamaican style patties, breads, and pastries which eventually expanded to include cooked entrées such as jerk chicken, curry goat, oxtail and escoveitched fish meals served with rice and peas and vegetables.
The flavor is distinctively Caribbean and the atmosphere provides that home away from home comfort that many West Indian immigrants are homesick for. This Caribbean franchise chain now boasts over 120 stores which are spread out over nine states – New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Massachusetts and Maryland.
