Territory Protection
Bang Cookies provides franchisees with a “Designated Territory” upon approval of their shop location. This area is typically defined as a three-mile radius around the shop, although this can vary based on population density and local demographics.
Within this designated territory, the franchisor agrees not to establish or allow another Bang Cookies franchise to operate, as long as the franchisee remains in good standing with the agreement.
However, Bang Cookies does not grant exclusive territory rights in the broader sense. The franchisor reserves the right to operate or authorize operations under other brands or distribution channels, including online sales and wholesale outlets, even within a franchisee's territory.
