Checkers Expands in Brooklyn and into Queens
Just this past June Checkers opened their first Brooklyn location on Court Street. Since then Checkers has rolled out across Brooklyn with several new locations opening. Late summer also brought a location in the Financial District and recently a location in Jamaica, Queens has opened, giving Checkers a presence in all five boroughs.
Brooklyn:
1611 Broadway at Eldert St (Bushwick): I visited this location yesterday. It's another non-typical Checkers, seating 19 and having no drive through. For a photo and a longer review, check out BushwickBK.com's article.
970 Flatbush Ave. at Albemarie Rd (Flatbush) : I've got nothing on this location except that Google Maps pairs it with Papa John's.
797 Pennsylvania Ave at Linden Blvd (East New York): This one ran into some problems getting its signs approved. No word on if it's open yet. Based on the permit applications, this location will have at least one drive-through (remember, Checkers likes having two). My guess is it will be more like the Staten Island location with no seating but a pick-up window.
Here is the most recent Google Street View capture - my guess is it's replacing the car wash:Queens:
83-45 Parsons Blvd at Coolidge Ave (Jamaica): No word on this one either, but Google Street View shows two red canopies behind a McDonalds at the same address. It certainly looks like a drive-through.
Remember that the last two locations above are listed on Checkers' website but there's no other confirmation that they're open. Use the location finder to get the most accurate phone number and give the location a call before heading out.
