What does Section 3 of the Checkers Franchise Agreement cover regarding the development of the franchised restaurant?

According to Checkers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Section 3 of the Franchise Agreement is titled "DEVELOPMENT OF THE FRANCHISED RESTAURANT." However, the provided excerpts from Item 22 of the FDD do not contain the actual content of Section 3. Item 22 generally covers the contracts that a franchisee will be required to sign. Therefore, the specific details regarding the development of the franchised restaurant within Section 3 are not available in this excerpt.

Without the full text of Section 3, it is impossible to know the specific obligations and responsibilities of both Checkers and the franchisee concerning the restaurant's development. This section would likely outline the timeline for development, site selection criteria, construction or build-out requirements, and any specific standards or approvals needed from Checkers during the development phase.

A prospective Checkers franchisee should carefully review the complete Franchise Agreement, particularly Section 3, to understand their obligations and Checkers' responsibilities regarding the development of the restaurant. It would be prudent to ask Checkers for clarification on any ambiguous or unclear terms within this section before signing the agreement. Understanding these details is crucial for a smooth and successful launch of the franchised location.
