What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkersrallys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Checkersrallys offers franchisees site selection assistance. Checkersrallys will provide its standard site selection criteria for Restaurants, which it may establish and change over time. Checkersrallys will also provide on-site evaluations of proposed sites as it deems necessary or appropriate.
To initiate the site selection process, franchisees must submit a complete franchise application and site application form for each proposed site. This application should include a description of the site, traffic patterns, parking, neighborhood character, competition, proximity to other businesses, and a letter of intent or evidence confirming the franchisee's prospects for obtaining the site.
Checkersrallys will then accept or reject each site, typically within 30 days of receiving the complete site report and any other requested materials. Acceptance is formalized through a standard franchise site package and a site acceptance letter. Checkersrallys has the sole discretion to consider factors such as the general location, neighborhood, demographics, traffic patterns, access, visibility, location of other restaurants, and the site's physical characteristics when deciding whether to accept or reject a proposed site. However, Checkersrallys does not offer any guarantee that the site will be suitable or profitable.
