What is the minimum number of Checkers or Rally's restaurants a franchisee must operate to be eligible for the incentive?

According to Checkers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must operate at least two Checkers or Rally's restaurants to be eligible for the Existing Franchisee Incentive. This incentive reduces the initial franchise fee by $10,000 if the franchisee opens their restaurant within one year of signing the Franchise Agreement.

This incentive is designed to encourage existing franchisees to expand their operations. By offering a reduced franchise fee, Checkers aims to make it more financially appealing for current franchisees to open additional locations. This can be a significant benefit for franchisees looking to grow their business within the Checkers system.

It's important to note that this incentive is specifically for existing franchisees who already have a proven track record with the brand. New franchisees or those with only one location would not be eligible for this particular incentive. Franchisees should carefully review the terms and conditions of the incentive program to ensure they meet all the requirements and understand the timeline for opening the new restaurant to qualify for the reduced fee.
