History

edit

The chain was founded by Micah Camden and Katie Poppe in 2010. The business was sold to Chanticleer Holdings in 2015.[2][3] There are locations in five U.S. states (California, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, and Washington), including a dozen in the Portland metropolitan area, as of 2019.[4][5]

Workers sought to unionize in 2019.[6][7][8] In February 2024, a Crumbl Cookies store occupied the Erb Memorial Union location.[9]

In July 2024, the company's parent, Amergent Hospitality Group, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.[10]
