Under the Checkers Franchise Agreement, what are the two possible names for the restaurant the franchisee will operate?

According to the 2025 Checkers Franchise Disclosure Document, the restaurant operated by the franchisee will be named either "Checkers" or "Rally's". The Franchise Agreement stipulates that the franchisee will operate a franchised restaurant identified as either a "Checkers" or "Rally's" restaurant.

This indicates that Checkers offers franchisees the option to operate under either of its brand names. The agreement uses the term "Franchised Restaurant" to refer to either a Checkers or Rally's location, suggesting that the operational terms and conditions are largely similar regardless of the chosen brand.

For a prospective franchisee, this choice could be influenced by factors such as local market recognition, brand preference, and available support for each brand within their desired territory. It is important to note that while the FDD mentions both brands, it does not specify if there are differences in the franchise fees, royalties, or operational requirements between a Checkers and a Rally's franchise. A potential franchisee should clarify these details with Checkers before making a decision.
