What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 2 Checkers outlets in Pennsylvania at the start of 2024, according to one table. However, another table indicates that there were 3 Checkers outlets in Pennsylvania at the start of 2024. These numbers reflect the number of outlets open as of January 1, 2024, which Checkers uses as the end of its 2023 fiscal year.
It is important to note the discrepancy between the two tables. The difference in numbers could be due to a variety of factors, such as differing data collection methods or variations in how outlets are classified.
Prospective franchisees should clarify this discrepancy with Checkers to understand the accurate number of operating outlets in Pennsylvania at the beginning of 2024. Understanding the actual number of operating units can help a franchisee better assess the market and potential competition in the state.
