Checkersrallys Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
Before you acquire, by lease or purchase, any site for your Restaurant, you must submit a franchise site package to us in the form, content and substance as we then require. We will review each site package and determine whether to accept or reject the site after considering factors we deem appropriate, including the general location and neighborhood, demographic information, traffic patterns, access, visibility, location of other restaurants and food establishments, and size, configuration, appearance and other physical characteristics of the site. We will use reasonable efforts to approve or disapprove the proposed site within 30 days after receiving your written proposal. Upon our approval of a site, we will insert the address into Exhibit B of the Franchise Agreement, and it will be the Premises. Within 60 days after our approval of a site for the Premises, you agree to deliver a copy of the fully signed lease, sublease or purchase contract and the franchise addendum to lease agreement. In some cases, we may sublease the Premises to you, but we do not typically do so.
