Crisp & Green gets ready to launch sixth Minnesota location

Crisp & Green is getting ready to open the doors to its sixth Minnesota store come this summer, located on Grand Avenue in St. Paul.

The restaurant replaces the previous D'Amico restaurant and will be owned and operated by the company's second franchise partner, Blake Graves, according to a press release.

"I am incredibly excited to bring Crisp & Green to the St. Paul community," said Graves in the release. "It feels like the perfect scenario to open my first location where my University of St. Thomas roots began, in the city of St. Paul. Up until now, St. Paul has been asking, 'Where is my Crisp & Green store?' but don't worry, we saw your Instagram comments and heard your requests — we are headed your way!"

"The historic Grand Avenue area is a vibrant and exciting community to enter into," said CEO and Founder Steele Smiley, in the release. "We are excited to add another location where a new community of residents and employees can feel great about their eating choices, in addition to enjoying our fitness and wellness resources that are offered complimentary."

The announcement comes on the heel of news of former NBA player Kris Humphries breaking ground on his second Crisp & Green store, which will also open this summer in Maple Grove.
