Rally’s, the fast-food burger restaurant chain based in Tampa, is seeking a new look for its colorful red-and-white double drive-through stores and plans to remodel its Sylvania Township restaurant at West Central Avenue and Holland-Sylvania Road into a prototype for its 800 locations nationwide, the company said yesterday.

The makeover includes the addition of stainless steel over both drive-thru lanes and the blending of red into its traditional black-and-white checkered scheme.

The interior will include upgrades in the kitchen to provide more efficiency. The 19-year-old restaurant at 5855 West Central Ave. is undergoing the remodeling and is to reopen Oct. 15.
Rally’s is owned by Checkers & Rally’s Drive-In Restaurants Inc.
