Six Checkers Locations Close Abruptly in Las Vegas

Checkers, the fast-food restaurant with double-lane drive-thrus, closed six of its Las Vegas area locations last night. Fox 5 reports that the chain that serves burgers, hot dogs, and milkshakes posted signs that read, “Store permanently closed, thank you for your business.”

Some or all of the locations may reopen, according to a Checkers spokesperson. In a press statement, the spokesperson noted that the location inside Wal-Mart at 6464 N. Decatur Blvd. remains open.

“Food in the Fast Lane, LLC, a Checkers franchisee, recently closed all 6 of their Checkers restaurants in the greater Las Vegas-area. The franchisor is working to quickly reopen some or all of the restaurants. In the meantime, guests can still find their favorite Checkers menu items at our location inside WalMart at 6464 N. Decatur Blvd. The Checkers brand has had a long and successful history in the community, and we forward to serving our loyal Las Vegas guests again soon.”
