Crisp & Green has announced a new franchise partnership with NBA star Kris Humphries, according to an article on fastcasual.com. 

Humphries, who started his NBA career with the Utah Jazz and most recently played for the Atlanta Hawks, is opening the brand’s first franchise location in his home state of Minnesota.
