TL;DR
Franchisees Kamal and Al Raza are seeking to expand their portfolio with additional Checkers locations on Long Island. They currently operate several quick-service restaurants, including Checkers, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and KFC locations.
With three Checkers, two Pizza Huts, six Taco Bells and a KFC location under his belt, Kamal Raza and his brother Al are successful franchisees looking to expand their portfolio with the addition of more Checkers locations in the Nassau County, Queens and Brooklyn areas. The Razas chose Checkers among other investments because its initial franchise expenses are on the affordable side for a QSR restaurant.

A Checkers restaurant can cost as little as $400,000 depending on the location, size and store model.
