Checkers Hamburgers

What the heck? Terrible burger and limited menu.

 

IIRC it is a company somehow dedicated to black franchisees or something like that.

 

There was one is Arlington, TX but it went out of business.

 

Too bad....

They were a good customer!

 

are you serious, i love them. The menu is a little scimpy though.

 

The last one i had gave me mudd butt

 

Checkers was primo fare in the later high school and early college days. When I was working at Albertsons (age 16), my best friend worked at Checkers. He would always give me the "cheese" hookup, because I wanted it but was too cheap to pay for it! Every little bit saved, you know. In college I would work late, go through the drive through on the ol' motorcycle, get like four sandwiches and would survive on that for the next few days .

Checkers was known to not shy away from having restaurants in low-income areas.

Not sure how they're doing these days... there definitely ain't any of them in Boulder, CO, I tell you that!

 

Isn't that Church's Chicken?

Checkers is still in FL.

 

ROFL!

I donno, can't remember exactly, but I think I recall it was founded by a black man and did quite well and was held up as an example of good minority achievement. I thought they had a pretty strong franchise going, although I have never been in one.

anybody???

 

Checkers burgers is an excellent way of gaining 20 plus pounds in one year.
