TBH I go with the family business thing simply because Dunces and Dragons is one of my favorite episodes for some reason. I like the Krabs and Plankton backstory but I pretend that instead of them making the formula themselves it was just a petty business dispute that split them up and drove Plankton to a life of crime in an attempt for attention. TBH Same.
yeah its a fine interpretation. personally i prefer the “bought a former retirement home after a depressive episode and starting a business on a whim” thing from krusty krab training video but also really like the idea the krabby patty formula was a family recipe passed down for generations from dunces and dragons... i also think theres more than one krabby patty recipe so the two trying to create their own recipe could still be a source of tension between the two of them (they clearly made up a few times between then and the current day, but it was still a hot button issue)
i just dont think that redbeard or victor would have had any interest running or managing a business like the krusty krab. betsy, maybe, but she’s married into the krabs family so couldnt have inherited it from that lineage, plus betsy was too busy raising two kids as a single mother since she divorced victor
