What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Tennessee had the highest number of outlets opened in 2022. The FDD reveals that Tennessee opened 7 outlets during that year. Mississippi was the next highest with 5 outlets opened. Alabama, Louisiana, New York, Texas and Virginia each opened 2 outlets in 2022.
It is important to note that these figures reflect the gross number of new Checkers outlets opened in each state, without accounting for any closures or terminations that may have occurred during the same period. A prospective franchisee should investigate not only the number of new openings but also the overall health and stability of existing locations within a specific state or region.
This information is valuable for potential Checkers franchisees as it provides insight into which markets are expanding. However, it is crucial to consider this data in conjunction with other factors, such as market saturation, local economic conditions, and the level of support provided by the franchisor in each state. Reviewing the number of terminations or closures in those states is also important.
While the number of new outlets can indicate growth, it does not guarantee success. A prospective Checkers franchisee should conduct thorough due diligence, including speaking with existing franchisees in these states, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities and challenges associated with operating a Checkers franchise in these markets.
