Does the text specify the fiscal year-end for Checkersrallys?

According to Checkersrallys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company's fiscal reporting periods consist of 52 or 53 weeks. These periods end on the Monday closest to December 31. The FDD clarifies that references to "year" or "years" ended represent fiscal years for Checkersrallys.

For instance, the fiscal year ended December 30, 2024, consisted of 52 weeks. The periods from January 3, 2023, to June 16, 2023, and June 17, 2023, to January 1, 2024, consisted of 24 and 28 weeks, respectively. This level of detail is important for prospective franchisees as it provides clarity on how Checkersrallys structures its financial reporting periods, which may affect how a franchisee analyzes their own business performance in comparison to the franchisor's reports.

Furthermore, the FDD explains that due to the presentation of Successor and Predecessor periods, the fiscal year ended December 30, 2024, refers to the period from January 2, 2024, through December 30, 2024 (Successor), and the period ended January 1, 2024, refers to the period from June 17, 2023, to January 1, 2024 (Successor). The period ended June 16, 2023, refers to the period from January 3, 2023, to June 16, 2023 (Predecessor). This distinction is crucial for understanding the financial statements provided in the FDD, especially when comparing performance across different periods affected by the Out-of-Court Restructuring.
