What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Table B provides net sales information for restaurants during their first 52 weeks of operation. For franchised Checkers restaurants, the median net sales during the first 52-week period of operations is $1,379,618. This figure is based on data from 37 franchised Checkers restaurants that opened between January 2022 and December 2024.
It is important to note that this median represents the midpoint of net sales for these restaurants, meaning half of the restaurants had higher net sales and half had lower. The range of net sales for these franchised locations varied significantly, from a low of $396,634 to a high of $1,937,391. This wide range suggests that location, market conditions, and management effectiveness can greatly impact a restaurant's performance.
A prospective Checkers franchisee should consider these figures as estimates of potential performance, but individual results may vary. Checkers states explicitly in the FDD that there is no assurance that a franchisee will earn as much. It is crucial to conduct thorough due diligence, including market research and a review of the FDD with a financial advisor, to assess the potential risks and rewards of investing in a Checkers franchise.
For comparison, the average net sales for these franchised Checkers restaurants during their first 52 weeks was $1,342,443. While the average and median are relatively close, the wide range between the high and low net sales figures underscores the importance of understanding the factors that contribute to a restaurant's success or failure. A prospective franchisee should investigate what drives these differences and how they can maximize their own restaurant's performance.
