What is the effective date of the Checkersrallys Franchise Disclosure Document?

According to Checkersrallys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the issuance date of the document is April 3, 2025. This date is significant because it indicates when the FDD was prepared and considered current by Checkersrallys. Prospective franchisees should ensure they are reviewing the most up-to-date version of the FDD before making any decisions. The FDD includes a receipt page for franchisees to acknowledge they received the document dated April 3, 2025, along with a list of included exhibits and attachments.

It is important to note that while the document has an issuance date, certain states require franchise documents to be registered or filed, which means the effective date for using the document in those states may differ. The FDD indicates that states such as California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin have such franchise laws. Therefore, the FDD is effective and may be used in states where it is filed, registered, or exempt from registration, as of the effective date stated within the document.

Prospective franchisees should verify with Checkersrallys whether the FDD is currently registered and effective in their specific state, as registration dates can vary. This ensures compliance with state franchise laws and protects the franchisee's rights. The receipt page in the FDD serves as an acknowledgment that the franchisee received a copy of the FDD, but it is not necessarily proof that the FDD is effective in their state. Always confirm the registration status with the franchisor and relevant state authorities.
