*Charlamagne Tha God and his wife, Jessica Gadsden-McKelvey, have opened a Krystal location in South Carolina as part of a 5-store partnership deal in his home state. 

This is the fourth Krystal in SC but Charlamagne’s first in the area, this time in Orangeburg. According to AfroTech, the new 24/7 restaurant, located at 1486 Chestnut St., will celebrate its grand opening on December 20. The project carries personal significance for the media personality. 

“Orangeburg is special to us because it’s the home of South Carolina State University, my mother’s alma mater, while my wife’s father is an alumni of Claflin University,” The Breakfast Club host said.

“I also have an honorary degree from SCSU, where I established the Ford Family Endowed Scholarship Fund, so it’s a blessing to continue this mission of providing opportunities and jobs to South Carolinians,” added Charlamagne.

The Dec. 20 grand opening of the new Krystal in Orangeburg will feature Charlamagne alongside members of the Orangeburg County Chamber of Commerce and other local officials. The event will begin with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10:45 a.m. ET, followed by performances from local cheer teams and marching bands.

“It’s always an amazing feeling to come back and give back,” Charlamagne said. “I hope the community will enjoy my favorite eats from Krystal for years to come!”

Krystal’s parent company SPB Hospitality CEO Josh Kern said, “Charlamagne’s cultural impact speaks for itself, and bringing his energy to Krystal’s newest location is a game-changer.” 

During the 2023 Hope Global Forum, Charlamagne noted that his father inspired his entrepreneurial spirit.

“My father was always an entrepreneur who had his own businesses, and I’ve always wanted to follow that path,” he said.

*This story has been updated to correct the original claim that Charlamagne and his wife owned multiple franchises in the state.
