What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkers's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are three specific criteria a franchisee must meet to qualify for the 2025 Reimage Incentive. First, the franchisee must sign a franchise agreement on or before June 30, 2025. Second, the franchisee must complete a full scope reimage that complies with Checkers's current reimaging requirements by December 30, 2025; this reimage must be approved in advance by Checkers. Third, the franchisee, their owners, and their affiliates must be in full compliance with the franchise agreement and any other agreements between them and Checkers.
If a Checkers franchisee meets all three of these requirements, they will receive a reduced royalty rate. From the date the re-imaged restaurant opens until the end of the twelfth month of operation following reopening, the royalty will be 2% of Net Sales. Beginning in the thirteenth month following the reopening and for the remainder of the term of the Franchise Agreement, the royalty will be 4% of Net Sales.
To actually receive the benefit of these reduced royalty amounts, the franchisee must sign Checkers's required form of 2025 Reimage Incentive Addendum to the Franchise Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit B-6 to the Franchise Disclosure Document.
