Checkers® Drive-In Restaurants, the largest double drive-thru chain in the
United States, announced today the signing of a multi-unit store development agreement with Kerrim Jivani for five new restaurants in Fairfield County, Connecticut. The first restaurant is planned to open in the spring of 2011 in Milford, CT. Checkers’ development in South Fairfield County is part of a strategic growth strategy to expand the brand’s presence in existing markets, as well as in new regions across the country.
“We’re very excited to welcome Kerrim to the Checkers family,” said Checkers’ Chief Development Officer Lynette McKee, CFE. “We are confident that residents in Fairfield County will crave our incredibly flavored burgers and uniquely seasoned fries and look forward to serving the local community.”
Jivani has more than 16 years of foodservice industry experience. He was previously a multi-unit Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins franchisee and owned eight locations throughout the New York City area. In 2009, Jivani divested his Dunkin’ Brands network and is now focusing his expertise on growth with Checkers.
