Territory Protection
Aire Serv provides its franchisees with defined territorial rights as part of their franchise agreement. Each franchisee is granted a protected territory, typically based on geographic or demographic criteria such as population.
Within this defined area, Aire Serv generally restricts the establishment of additional franchises to avoid direct competition among its own franchisees. The franchisor uses specific guidelines to determine the size and structure of the territory, ensuring it is viable for business growth.
While franchisees enjoy exclusivity within their territory, they must adhere to Aire Serv’s standards and operational requirements to maintain those rights. This territorial protection helps franchisees develop a stable customer base without internal brand competition.
