Established in 1989, Crispers took its time about growing: It was almost a decade before a second unit opened. Since then, growth has clearly been on this fast-casual gourmet salad and sandwich chain’s agenda. That’s due in part to resources and strategic positioning provided by Publix, the Florida-based supermarket chain that in 2005 bought a majority interest in Crispers.
