What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkersrallys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one outlet in Kentucky at the end of 2024. The FDD provides a detailed table showing the changes in outlet numbers across various states from 2022 to 2024. This includes information on outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, reacquired from franchisees, closed, sold to franchisees, and the resulting number of outlets at the end of the year.
For a prospective franchisee, this information is crucial for understanding the brand's presence and stability in specific markets. The fact that Kentucky has maintained a single outlet over the three-year period might suggest limited growth opportunities or a stable, established market. It is important to note that the fiscal year end for 2024 is defined as December 30, 2024, which is when these outlet numbers were recorded.
It's also worth noting that there were no changes in the number of Checkersrallys outlets in Kentucky during 2022, 2023, and 2024. No outlets were opened, reacquired, closed, or sold to franchisees during this period. This could indicate a very stable operation or a lack of investment in expanding the Checkersrallys brand within Kentucky. A potential franchisee should investigate the reasons behind this stability and whether there are plans for future growth in the state.
While the table provides a clear snapshot of outlet numbers, it doesn't offer insights into the financial performance or specific challenges faced by the Kentucky outlet. A prospective franchisee should seek additional information about the performance of existing outlets, market conditions, and the franchisor's plans for supporting and expanding the brand in Kentucky.
