What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for signage, including menuboards, for a gas/convenience, non-traditional, or Walmart Checkers restaurant ranges from $4,000 to $30,000. This cost is incurred as needed and is typically paid to Checkers or another approved supplier when the signage and menuboards are ordered.
This estimate is part of the overall initial investment required to start a Checkers franchise. It is important to note that this figure is an estimate, and the actual cost may vary depending on factors such as the specific location, the size and type of signage chosen, and the supplier used.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider this cost when evaluating the financial feasibility of opening a Checkers restaurant at a gas/convenience location, non-traditional site, or Walmart. It would be prudent to obtain quotes from multiple approved suppliers to get a more accurate estimate for their specific circumstances.
