What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are two different tables that provide information on the number of company-owned outlets at the start of 2022. One table indicates that Checkers had 129 company-owned outlets at the start of 2022. The other table indicates that Checkers had 139 company-owned outlets at the start of 2022. These discrepancies could be due to different accounting methods, inclusion/exclusion of temporary closures, or other factors.
It is important to note that the numbers reported in Item 20 reflect the end of each fiscal year. For example, the numbers reported for 2022 are as of January 2, 2023. This is a common practice, but prospective franchisees should be aware of the specific dates used in the FDD.
Given the discrepancies in the number of company-owned stores at the start of 2022, a prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Checkers regarding these figures. Understanding how Checkers defines and counts its outlets is crucial for assessing the overall health and growth potential of the franchise system.
