Burgers, wings, and famously seasoned fries
"A Noble Square Checkers location recently closed, underscoring how chain restaurants can be stuck when a shuttered site can’t easily be repurposed amid staffing and operational strains." - Naomi Waxman
"After more than a year and a half of delays, the now-infamous Checkers in the Polish Triangle finally opened, offering the chain’s menu of burgers, wings, and its famously seasoned fries; orders are available via Postmates." - Naomi Waxman
"I learned that the long-awaited Noble Square Checkers, first announced this summer and originally slated to debut in July, has pushed its opening to Monday; the new fast-food location at 1555 W. Division Street sits just beside a Popeyes owned by the same franchisee, and a company representative did not provide reasons for the delays." - Naomi Waxman
"A fast-food burger chain is opening a new location at 1555 W. Division Street on December 27, adjacent to a recently opened Popeyes run by the same franchisee, Aby Mohamed; the opening was delayed by finishing touches after a five-month delay, and the site will be the chain’s closest to downtown among its 26 local locations as part of a plan to add roughly 100 new spots in the Chicago area." - Naomi Waxman
"Opening July 16 at 1555 W. Division Street in the Polish Triangle, this new fast-food burger location is positioned to attract younger, trendier customers and is the closest outlet to downtown among the roughly two dozen local locations. The franchisee, Aby Mohamed, received permission to run this site and a neighboring fried-chicken restaurant; the two will remain separate operations with distinct kitchens and public entrances, connected only by an interior hallway, and will not commingle brands. The concept is value-minded—targeting roughly $5 meals—and highlights all‑beef burgers, bold, cravable flavors, and seasoned fries that are popular enough to be sold frozen in grocery stores. The brand dates to 1986, was acquired by private equity in 2017, and is pursuing aggressive expansion in the Chicago area as part of a plan to add many more locations. This particular storefront, which lacks a drive‑thru, sits next to a 1930s-era building formerly home to older local burger concepts and recently received retro-looking tile work." - Ashok Selvam
