Five Checkers Drive-In burger restaurants will open in Fairfield County, doubling the number of planned Checkers outlets in Connecticut by next spring.
Kerrim Jivan, a former Dunkin-Donuts franchisee in New York City, is Checkers’ franchisee for the southwestern corner of the state. His first Checkers in Milford will open in spring 2011.
In July, Nutmeg Burger Corp. announced plans for five Checkers Drive-Ins in and around Hartford, also opening next spring.
The Checkers/Rally’s franchise is based in Tampa, Fla.
