Nick Panjwani is no stranger to the QSR market. When Panjwani was looking for a new opportunity with a new brand he set his sights on <a href="http://checkersfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=checkers-spells-success-for-franchisee-in-houston-2619" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Checkers</a>. After opening his first location in the Houston, Texas, market, he is now on his way to opening a second Checkers location before the year's end. The Tampa, Florida-based brand is new to the Houston market, and Panjwani wanted to franchise with Checkers &amp; Rally&#8217;s for the growth opportunity and to build a relationship with the brand. After becoming a Checkers franchisee, Panjwani says he is &#8220;very happy&#8221; with the success he has found with his Checkers location. His favorite thing about working with the Checkers &amp; Rally&#8217;s brand is the support he receives. &#8220;The best part about being in the Checkers family is that everyone from the top to the bottom of the corporate office is so supportive of their franchisees,&#8221; said Panjwani. &#8220;In every step of the way. From finding and setting up a location, to running the construction site and helping with operations, they are 100 percent committed and supportive.&#8221; It&#8217;s the same support that Panjwani, would suggest future franchises look for when deciding on a concept. &#8220;Go with the franchisor who has a great support system for the franchisee,&#8221; said Panjwani. In addition to support, Panjwani advises future franchisees trust the brand and spend where it&#8217;s important. &#8220;Take a bold step and trust them,&#8221; said Panjwani. &#8220;The franchise system knows what tools to provide to a franchisee to be successful. Don&#8217;t be stingy in spending money in the right equipment and right infrastructure that the brand requires.&#8221; When it comes to ordering at his Checkers location in Houston, Panjwani&#8217;s favorite menu item is the Big Buford, a sandwich featuring two meat patties with sauce, lettuce, tomato, and onion, with Checkers&#8217; famous seasoned fries.
