CHARLOTTE, N.C. — This drive-through burger concept expects to open its first location in Charlotte by the middle of next year.
Checkers has signed a franchisee for the market — a family group of restaurateurs — to bring the concept here, says Robert Bhagwandat, director of franchise development for Checkers and Rally’s Restaurants. Rally’s is a sister concept.
