Crispers closing its Tallahassee restaurant

TaMaryn Waters | Tallahassee Democrat

Crispers, a fast-casual Florida restaurant chain serving sandwiches, salads and flatbreads, is closing its Tallahassee site Saturday.

A sign announcing the closure has been up for about a week, according to a manager, who directed questions to the corporate office.

"Thank you for your patronage over the years and we regret any inconvenience this may cause you," the sign said.

Crispers is headquartered in Lakeland since 1989 and has more than a dozen locations throughout Florida, including Orlando, Brandon, Fort Myers and St. Augustine. The Tallahassee restaurant off Apalachee Parkway is the only one located in North Florida, with the exception of Jacksonville.

In 2011, Publix sold Crispers to Health Food Concepts LLC, an affiliate of Miami-based investment company Boyne Capital Partners, Publix spokesman Dwaine Stevens said.
