Checkers In Salisbury Is Closed For Business

The Checker's in Salisbury closed their doors last night for good. With a struggling economy and so much competition, the owners just couldn't make it, even with the college so close by.

Checkers opened their doors in June of 2009 and even with $40,000.00 to $50,000.00 a month in sales, they couldn't make it.

    They couldn't survive on $50k/month? Then they had a terrible business plan! That's $600k/year flippin' burgers!

    Poor location, poor service and food that did not stand out compared to the other burger joints. Now we will have a specific building in the middle of a parking lot that has no other use. Another boarded up eyesore.

    Their fries were very good, but once I started eating healthy - fast food went bye-bye.

    $600,000 per year is not nearly enough to make it. The key is the rent?

    Food cost = 32%, Labor = 25%, franchise fees = 8 - 12%? Plus utilities, garbage, paper supplies, licenses, and property taxes.
