Checkers & Rally’s, the double drive-thru burgers and fries’ brand, recently announced they are targeting Greensboro as a key market in its franchise growth plan. With over 800 locations in the United States and more in development, the brand’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
“We’re thrilled about the opportunity to expand Checkers and Rally’s into Charlotte and we’re eager to invite the community to partner with a beloved brand in the fast-food industry,” said Robert Bhagwandat, Senior Director of Franchise Development at Checkers and Rally’s. “As a leader in the affordable fast-food industry, it is characterized by exceptional value and iconic menu items. We are excited to explore new markets and work alongside new and current operators.”
Checkers & Rally’s stands out from other hamburger QSR concepts through its dedication to innovation in both the culinary aspect and its introduction to technology and AI improvements. This commitment ensures that it is possible to provide exceptional value to both guests and operators as well as run cost-effectively.
Recognizing the need for efficient and quick dining options in Charlotte, Checkers & Rally’s drive-thru operations have been crafted to deliver quick service while preserving the brand’s iconic flavors. The brand’s streamlined operations which feature a model that substitutes dining rooms with patio seating, reduce the amount of labor needed during operating hours. In combination with the double drive-thru and quick-service menu, Checkers & Rally’s stands out as an exciting franchise ownership opportunity.
After merging into one concept in 1999, Checkers & Rally’s operates on a successful franchise model. Franchise owners benefit from operational support, marketing resources and strong brand recognition. Prospective franchisees can build upon 1,008 square-foot space, which is half the size of competing drive-thru concepts.
In addition to Charlotte, Checkers & Rally’s current strategy is targeting select markets throughout the United States, particularly in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Las Vegas, Arizona, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
