Alternative Building Formats

In addition to our famous double drive-thru building, we have recently developed two new building designs to meet the needs of new and existing franchisees. We have introduced a design for a shopping plaza end-cap unit with a single drive-thru, as well as an in-line design. Both of these building formats feature indoor seating and counter service.   Estimated to fit in approximately 1800 to 2100 square feet of space, the end-cap and in-line units each feature Checkers/Rally’s distinctive black and white checkerboard design with red accents.
