Crispers restaurants sign endorsement deal with Olympic sprinter Justin Gatlin

July 11, 2012

Lakeland, Fla.-based Crispers Restaurants has officially signed a one-year endorsement deal with U.S. Olympic sprinter Justin Gatlin. As part of the deal, Gatlin will be endorsing Crispers on a variety of websites and social media outlets, making appearances at Crispers restaurant locations in Florida, and providing autographed promotional items for Crispers customers.

Crispers makes this announcement fresh on the heels of Gatlin’s 1st place Olympic qualifying time (and personal best time) of 9.80 seconds in the men’s 100 Meter U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier final, which was held June 25 in Eugene, Ore. Gatlin is now widely considered to be the top prospect for the U.S. in the men’s 100M this summer at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London.
