SMITHFIELD – The former Checker’s Restaurant, at 1691 E. Market Street, was razed on Wednesday. Heavy machinery demolished the building in a matter of minutes.
The site will be the future location of Big Dan’s Car Wash.
According to Big Dan’s website, the company has 18 locations in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina offering premium car wash services.
another car wash
I remember going to Checkers a lot back in the day. It was good food. What happen?
This is the dumbest thing that can ever get out in that spot.
It is a terrible place to access for a car wash. I actually despise that traffic flow around there and if I can, avoid going through there because of it.
Smart move. You don’t have to pay people and the car wash will make money.
Just like the closing of Ruby Tuesday and Applebees. Sad sad sad. No wonder folks go to Goldsboro, Raleigh, Fayetteville, etc. We do not all eat fast food.
It’s almost like their trying to kill all of us. Wait never mind they are….
Checkers IS fast food…
I think that the problem with Ruby Tuesday and Applebees was that they could not hire and retain competent help. Ruby tried really hard but Applebees was awful.
It would have been nice if we had gotten a notice about them closing down. I hate they tore checkers down; they had some good food.
wonder why it closed ? lease was up ? not making enough money?
Will this car sell hamburgers also?
Of all the things to put in a hectic area another car wash?!? It’s just too hectic in that area to put something like that there. This is going to be a deadly move…If Not Today or Tomorrow but One day you’ll see.
Should of put another Bojangles in that spot.
Smithfield. Ick.
Why did it close?
