After three years of waiting, <a href="http://checkersfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sheepshead-bites-after-three-year-delay-checkers-opens-in-coney-island-3123" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Checkers</a> has finally opened on Coney Island. Franchisee Ahmadullah Tokhi, who also owns a Popeyes, said the location was an easy choice. &#8220;Coney Island gets over 200,000 people every weekend in the summer. It&#8217;s a really nice place and it&#8217;s one of the most famous amusement parks in the country,&#8221; he said. Inspections and the leasing company kept Tokhi's restaurant from opening, but when opening night finally came, <a href="http://checkers.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sheepshead-bites-after-three-year-delay-checkers-opens-in-coney-island-3123" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Checkers</a> drew an impressive crowd. A customer said he had noticed that the restaurant opened on his walk home from school and came back that night. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been waiting for a long time for this,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;d always walk by and look over to see if it&#8217;s open yet.&#8221; Tokhi is excited to give Coney Island visitors more food options.<a href="http://www.sheepsheadbites.com/2015/12/after-three-year-delay-checkers-opens-in-coney-island/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sheepshead-bites-after-three-year-delay-checkers-opens-in-coney-island-3123" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here to read the original article.</a>&nbsp;
