Bold new builds featuring fan-favorite flavors deliver big taste and unbeatable value nationwide

TAMPA, Fla., March 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Checkers & Rally's is folding bold flavor into something new. The drive-thru icons are introducing two crave-worthy Flatbread Sandwiches bringing fresh variety to the menu while doubling down on the brand's signature value.

Leading the lineup is the Spicy Chicken Flatbread Sandwich, built around the brands fan-favorite chicken offering. Made with Checkers & Rally's signature spicy chicken patty, American cheese, crisp iceberg lettuce, tomato and ranch, the sandwich is wrapped in a grilled, folded flatbread for a warm, handheld twist on a fan favorite. Guests can enjoy it as part of a $5 Combo, which includes a small fry and a small soft drink. The offer is available for a limited time at participating locations nationwide.

For those craving smoky, savory flavor, the new Bacon Burger Flatbread Sandwich features a 100% beef hamburger patty topped with American cheese, crispy bacon, dill pickles, crispy onions, lettuce and Sweet 'N Smoky BBQ sauce all wrapped in a grilled, folded flatbread. Guests can upgrade to the Bacon Burger Flatbread Combo for just $1 more, making it $6 Combo with a small fry and a small soft drink. This offer is also available for a limited time at participating locations nationwide.

"Bold, innovative flavor and unbeatable value are in our DNA," said Scott Johnson, Chief Marketing Officer of Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc. "With these Flatbread sandwiches, we've taken two guest favorites — our spicy chicken and classic bacon burger — and reimagined them into something new, craveable, and accessible, all starting at just $5."
