What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkers's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Table B provides net sales information for restaurants during their first 52-week period of operations. For the two company-owned Checkers restaurants that opened between January 2022 and December 2024, the average net sales during this initial period was $1,240,612. The median net sales for these restaurants was also $1,240,612.
This data point offers prospective franchisees insight into the potential revenue that new Checkers restaurants might generate during their first year. However, it's important to note that this is based on a very small sample size of only two company-owned restaurants. The actual net sales for a franchised location could vary significantly due to factors such as location, market conditions, and management effectiveness.
The table also indicates that 50% of the company-owned restaurants attained or exceeded the average net sales, meaning one of the two restaurants performed above the average. The low and high net sales figures for these restaurants ranged from $1,204,039 to $1,277,185, showing a relatively tight range of performance for the company-owned locations during their first year of operation.
It is important for potential franchisees to consider these figures in conjunction with other financial performance representations and to conduct their own due diligence, including market research and a review of the assumptions underlying these figures, before making an investment decision. The FDD also states that written substantiation for the financial performance representation will be made available to the prospective franchisee upon reasonable request.
