An investor who spent about $500,000 to reopen a shuttered fast-food restaurant in West Palm Beach plans 10 more Checkers drive-thrus over the next five years.

Corey Kipp is one of the newest franchisees with Tampa-based Checkers Drive-In Restaurants Inc. as the chain sets out to create up to 75 new outlets across South Florida in an aggressive multimillion-dollar expansion push.
