Women in Net Lease Video Series

Episode 2: Kris McDonald, VP of Development, Checkers and Rally’s

B+E is excited to release the second video in our series highlighting women in net lease! Our guests are all experts in their fields, even if they had never heard of net lease when they started out in their careers. Our goal is for this series to help change that.

Our next guest is Kris McDonald, Vice President of Development at Checkers and Rally’s. Kris joined Checkers in October 2017 as the Director of Real Estate, leading a team responsible for new builds across the United States (both corporate and franchisee) and for the asset management of the Corporate portfolio. She has since been promoted in April of 2019 to Senior Director and added the construction and design team. Kris was recently promoted to Vice President of Development, adding the franchise recruitment and sales functions to the team.
