Pretty soon, Beantown residents will be able to get their hands on a new quick-service offering. Tampa, Florida-based Checkers Drive-In Restaurants Inc. is targeting Greater Boston for the brand’s first Massachusetts location.
“It’s an under-penetrated market for a lot of franchises,” Jennifer Durham, vice president of franchise development, told the Boston Business Journal. “We think there’s a huge opportunity.”
Checkers is looking to find three to five experienced franchise partners to aid in the expansion. The brand is looking toward franchise partners to bring five to 10 restaurants to Greater Boston in 2016.
The typical Checkers location features drive-thru-only locations that reduce the needs of real estate. The quick-service brand’s menu features seared and seasoned burgers, chicken and fish sandwiches, grilled hot dogs, chicken wings, seasoned fries and ice cream desserts.
