SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA — Now that Dunkin' Donuts has set up shop in San Diego County, more national chains are expanding across the region. Next up: Rally’s.

The Checkers & Rally’s Restaurants chain plans to open 20 new restaurants over the next five years, according to a story from The San Diego Union-Tribune. Currently, there are only five burger-and-fries drive-through locations throughout the region.

Robert Bhagwandat, director of franchise development for the Rally’s and Checkers stores, told the San Diego Union-Tribune that the company plans to open as many as eight new locations over the next two years, including one store that will open early next year on 30th Street in Logan Heights. The company, he said, is looking to bring more burger joints to San Diego, La Mesa, National City, Spring Valley and Lakeside.

Checkers & Rally’s Restaurants is one of the largest chains of double drive-through restaurants in the United States. There are currently 33 Rally’s locations across the state.
