Born from the vision of Ephraim and Mavis Hawthorne—parents of founder Lowell Hawthorne—in St. Andrew, Jamaica, Caribbean restaurant chain Golden Krust has expanded considerably as a franchise, surpassing 125 locations in the United States. The brand now looks to be expanding once again, as submitted plan review paperwork shows a new Golden Krust planned for 12523 Miramar Parkway in Miramar.
The location is part of retail center located on the northwest corner of the Miramar Parkway–South Flamingo Road intersection, where a new Golden Krust would join other fast- and cast-casual brands like BurgerFi, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen.
The brand’s menu of Jamaican favorites centers on its selection of Reggae Fest Meals—served with rice, steamed vegetables, and fried sweet plantains—including Braised Oxtail, Jerk Chicken, Escovitch Fish, and Curried Goat. Golden Krust’s classic Jamaican patties come in varieties like the Blazin’ Pepper Shrimp Patty, the Chee-zee Beef Patty, the Beyond Meat Patty and more. Additionally, a breakfast menu offers Ackee & Saltfish, Callaloo & Saltfish, and Cornmeal Porridge.
What Now reached out to franchisee Cassandra Lee on Wednesday to inquire about plans for a new Golden Krust in Miramar. Lee was not immediately available for comment.
