What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkersrallys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Checkersrallys will use reasonable efforts to approve or disapprove a proposed site within thirty (30) days after receiving the franchisee's written proposal. The franchisee must submit a description of the proposed site, including a summary of relevant items and a letter of intent or other evidence confirming favorable prospects for obtaining the site.
If Checkersrallys does not approve the proposed site, the franchisee must continue to identify and notify Checkersrallys of new sites until one is approved. Upon approval, the site's address will be added to Exhibit B of the franchise agreement, designating it as the Premises. However, the enforceability of the agreement is not automatically affected if the address is not inserted into Exhibit B.
If the franchisee, after making good faith efforts, cannot find an acceptable site within the designated area within the prescribed time, they may request an extension. Granting an extension is at Checkersrallys's sole discretion, and if approved, the franchisee must pay a nonrefundable extension fee of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000).
