Checkers
This drive-in fast-food chain is a lot more well known in the Southeast, however, its sister company, Rally’s, is more prevalent in the Midwest. But these two restaurants are pretty much the same thing. Rally’s was established in 1986, while Checker’s was created the year after that. In 1999, they joined forces and their bilateral headquarters are currently in Tampa, Florida. During 2017, Oak Hill Capital bought Checkers for $525 million, following that in 2018, Checkers reported that it planned to grow further into Pittsburgh. However, they then said they would be closing some of its locations in the Southeast due to cost-effective reasons.
