Quicklotz now may be the next Haywood Mall anchor. It's based in Rutherfordton, NC and Simon is adding it as an anchor to malls, including North East Mall in Fort Worth and in the Gaffney outlets.

A Liquidator? Let's hope not. Fine for an outlet mall.

I will hold out hope Simon will do something like they just did over in Knoxville at West Town. Sears was replaced by a 2 level Dick's House of Sports store and Tesla in the old Sears Auto Center just opened.

Meanwhile, I'm now in touch with the Del Taco franchisee directly (as opposed to through corporate) who also says that they have sites under consideration in Anderson, Greenville, and Spartanburg. They have permission from Del Taco to open eight locations in the upstate.
I would love to see Whataburger come to the Upstate. But there was also speculation they may be looking at Charlotte. Del Taco is a step above Taco Bell. Would also still like to see a Roy Rogers, as they are now seeking franchise expansion. But they would be more likely to return to Greensboro, Raleigh or Charlotte first. Better brand recognition there.. But Culver's was unknown here and they appear to be successful.

For those new here.. They announced that back in 2018.
The closest Checkers opened was in Shelby, NC. Probably they waited too long to make a comeback and Cook-Out has since taken over.

Also the Pandemic may have put plans on hold, although fast food drive-thru service experience an upturn. And Checkers is mostly exclusively drive-thru only. Jack in the Box drive thru has done very well during the pandemic and is seeking a national franchise expansion, as they celebrate their 70th anniversary, despite having reduced presence in the Upstate.

Are they also considering Charlotte as previously mentioned? Looks like that would give them good concentration along theI-85 corridor from Charlotte to Atlanta, with Greenville-Spartanburg infilling. Hopefully Whataburger will come to pass.

I predicted it would eventually happen, but in response to the Popeyes hype Bojangles now has an upgraded chicken sandwich option. Their new chicken sandwich debuted today with the "It's so clucking good" campaign. Bigger thicker patty with pickles, mayo, and medium spiced seasoning. Their original cajun chicken sandwich remains on the menu as a spicier option, but does not have the thicker premium patty.

Better late than never. But now Bojangles, Hardee's. McDonald's, KFC and Zaxby's have been inspired by the success of Popeyes and Chick-Fil-A. All now offer upgraded options.

Checkers is nothing special. Definitely not as special now as it was to me as a kid. Theyre all over FL and I had it recently in Louisiana (group decision). Not missing much. The fries you can buy at Walmart. And 23 sounds excessive.
