According to the Checkersrallys FDD, is Rally's registered in Rhode Island?

According to Checkersrallys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Rally's is not registered in Rhode Island. The FDD lists states where Checkers and Rally's are registered, and for Rhode Island, it specifically indicates that Rally's is "Not Registered." This means that as of the date of the FDD, Checkersrallys has not completed the necessary legal steps to offer or sell Rally's franchises in Rhode Island.

For a potential franchisee, this information is crucial because it affects where they can operate a Rally's franchise. If a prospective franchisee is interested in opening a Rally's location in Rhode Island, they should confirm with Checkersrallys whether Rally's has since been registered or if there are plans to register in the future. Without proper registration, Checkersrallys cannot legally grant a franchise in that state.

It's also important to note that registration status can change. Checkersrallys may choose to register in Rhode Island at a later date, or the registration may lapse and need to be renewed. Therefore, it is essential for a prospective franchisee to obtain the most up-to-date information from Checkersrallys and verify the registration status with the Rhode Island Division of Securities, especially if they intend to operate in that state. The FDD also provides contact information for the Rhode Island Division of Securities, which can be used to verify the registration status independently.
