The business said the Orlando location will grow the brand in more ways than just adding a new location.

“It’s a new concept, it will be an extension of Crispy Kissimmee, with a more extensive and varied menu. It will have a bar, table service and we will have a “Market” where you can get our products ready to cook at home,” a Facebook post said.
