What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were a total of 25 Checkers outlets opened across all states in 2022. This number is derived from the system-wide outlet summary provided in Item 20, which details outlet activity over the past three fiscal years.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the overall growth and expansion rate of the Checkers franchise system. While 25 new openings might seem modest compared to the total number of outlets, it is important to consider this figure in conjunction with other data, such as closures and transfers, to understand the net change in the system size. A high number of openings alongside a similar number of closures could signal potential challenges in maintaining outlet performance.
It is also worth noting that the FDD provides a breakdown of outlet openings by state. Some states may have experienced more growth than others, which could reflect regional market conditions or the effectiveness of local franchise support. Reviewing these state-specific numbers can help a potential franchisee identify areas where Checkers has a strong presence and growth trajectory. Additionally, the document specifies that the fiscal year end for 2022 was January 2, 2023, which is important to keep in mind when comparing this data to other sources.
