A franchise territory is a defined area in which a franchisee has the right to operate and may be granted exclusive or protected rights. Exclusive territories prevent other franchisees or corporate locations from opening in that area, while protected territories may allow limited exceptions. Territory definitions and protections are outlined in the franchise agreement and Item 12 of the FDD. Understanding your territory rights is key to assessing competition and growth potential.
