Checkers Closes At Smithtown/Lake Grove Border
Burger chain shuts less than one year after opening.
The Checkers drive-in burger shop in Lake Grove has closed less than one year after it opened.
As of Friday morning, all of the signage at the chain burger joint were removed, the inside had been largely gutted and a handwritten is sign reading "this location is closed" hung on the door.
The land on Route 347 had been cleared more than a year ago to make way for the eatery, despite a wealth of vacant lots in the same economic corridor.
Several other vacant lots abut the eatery as well.
Checkers Drive-In Restaurant is well known across the country for its double-drive-in layout. The company operates Rally's restaurants as well.
A call to Checker's corporate offices was not immediately returned.
