US-based drive-through restaurant chain Checkers & Rally has formed a partnership for distribution services with US distributor the McLane Company.

The new partnership will enhance its operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness, and help expand its footprint as it pursues long-term growth.

McLane restaurant president Susan Adzick said: “McLane is honoured for the opportunity to serve Checkers and Rally, both exceptional brands that align with our business philosophy and people-first attitude.

“Our teammates deliver excellence for our customers every day, and I’m confident we will do great work together.”

Established in 1894, the McLane Company is a leading distributor in the US, serving convenience stores, mass merchants and chain restaurants. 

With a nationwide network of 80 distribution centres and a modern fleet, McLane, a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, delivers to almost every zip code in the country.

Checkers & Rally’s chief supply chain officer Christopher Ward said: “McLane is a trusted partner that will be instrumental in streamlining our distribution operations and creating substantial savings across our 800 locations.

“We believe this is an important step forward in setting the company up for long-term growth and success, and we look forward to our partnership.”

The partnership will enable Checkers to ensure on-time deliveries, enhance order fill rates, better support promotions and limited-time offers, and maintain standards for cold chain and logistics.

This partnership comes a year after Checkers and Rally launched two new sandwiches in the US.
