What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkersrallys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were two different counts of Checkersrallys outlets operating in Michigan at the end of 2022. One table indicates that there was 1 Checkersrallys restaurant operating in Michigan at the end of 2022. Another table indicates that there were 8 Checkersrallys restaurants operating in Michigan at the end of 2022. A third table indicates that there were 19 Checkersrallys restaurants operating in Michigan at the end of 2022.
It is important to note that the FDD specifies that the year-end numbers are as of January 2, 2023, for the fiscal year 2022. This discrepancy in outlet numbers could be due to differing reporting methods or the inclusion/exclusion of certain types of outlets in each table.
A prospective Checkersrallys franchisee should seek clarification from the franchisor regarding these discrepancies to understand the actual number of operating restaurants in Michigan and the reasons for the different figures presented in the Item 20 tables.
