Are there any franchisee purchasing or distribution cooperatives for the Checkersrallys franchise?

According to the 2025 Checkersrallys Franchise Disclosure Document, there are no franchisee purchasing or distribution cooperatives associated with the Checkersrallys franchise system. This means that franchisees do not have the option to collectively negotiate prices or distribution terms with suppliers through a cooperative. Instead, Checkersrallys establishes the approved suppliers from which franchisees must source goods, services, supplies, fixtures, equipment, and inventory.

This arrangement ensures uniformity and quality control across all Checkersrallys locations, as franchisees are required to adhere to the franchisor's standards and specifications. While franchisees are not obligated to purchase or lease directly from Checkersrallys or its affiliates, these entities can be approved suppliers. Checkersrallys attempts to negotiate purchase arrangements with suppliers, including price terms, for the benefit of all restaurants, including those owned by franchisees.

Prospective franchisees should be aware that they must purchase the majority of their goods, services and supplies from Checkersrallys-approved vendors. If a franchisee wishes to use a non-approved brand or supplier, they must first seek approval from Checkersrallys by submitting sufficient information, specifications, and samples for consideration. This requirement ensures that all products and services used in the operation of a Checkersrallys restaurant meet the franchisor's standards.
