Checkers raises the flag on 1st Avenue
As we reported back on Aug. 25, a Checkers is opening at 225 First Avenue between East 13th Street and East 14th Street.
And now the opening soon signage is up for another NYC location of the burger chain. (In April 2013, Crain's reported that Checkers was going to add another 22 restaurants in NYC by 2015.)
Higher rents forced longtime tenant Gabay's Outlet to leave this storefront for a new home at 195 Avenue A this past summer.

Gross. I give it 1.5 years. Too many local options.
SMH...
I love Checkers. Their banana shakes and their french fries are amazing. Just give it a try. Checkers is Southern style fast food - loaded with flavor. OK it's not for foodies, but I think that is a good thing. Rock on.
Checkers?
"It was a little cocker spaniel dog in a crate that he'd sent all the way from Texas. Black and white spotted. And our little girl—Tricia, the 6-year-old—named it Checkers. And you know, the kids, like all kids, love the dog and I just want to say this right now, that regardless of what they say about it, we're gonna keep it."
I'm actually kind of glad. If it had to be a chain store/restaurant/bank, which it probably did, I'm glad it's Checkers.
Y'all are in for a treat!
