A Tampa-based fast-casual salad concept is planning a new location in Pinellas Park.

Greenlane has filed plans with the Southwest Florida Water Management District to redevelop the former Checkers property at 6401 Park Boulevard, demolishing the existing building and constructing a new 964-square-foot drive-through restaurant. The Checkers location closed in late 2024.

Greenlane specializes in scratch-made salads and wraps, including customizable options and signature menu items such as the Ginger Sesame Crunch and Golden Greek.

The chain specializes in affordable, scratch-made salads and wraps.

The brand is built on a mission to deliver nutritious alternatives to traditional fast food for less than $10, completely avoiding seed oils, fake ingredients, or pre-packaged dressings.

All Greenlane salads are priced between $6.99 and $8.99.
