New Checkers Stacking Up In Metro Atlanta

Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc. is adding even more locations to metro Atlanta. After opening in Lenox Square earlier this year and close to opening another location on Broad Street downtown, another location will open in Peachtree center as well. Taking what most recently had been an "Oriental Express" the new restaurant is scheduled to open in the second week in November. This is yet another "in-line" location for Checkers, widely recognized for their stand alone twin drive thru restaurants. According to a company executive, this is a new strategy in many of Checkers' metropolitan markets. Clearly a cost savings, this new growth plan will make it easier for the restaurant to lease spaces it might not have leased with its past model. Another similar location is scheduled to open in Mall of Georgia's food court sometime in the first quarter of 2010. ToNeTo Atlanta
