Gatti's Pizza provides franchisees with a designated geographic area known as the "Protected Area." While this territory offers some level of protection, it is not exclusive. Franchisees may encounter competition from other franchisees, franchisor-owned outlets, or other distribution channels and competitive brands managed by the franchisor.
The franchisor assigns a specific geographic area around each Mr. Gatti’s Family Entertainment Center (FEC), designed to prevent the establishment of another Mr. Gatti’s FEC within a 5-mile radius in typical areas or a 3-mile radius in densely populated areas, relative to the approved location.
However, this territorial protection is limited to Mr. Gatti’s FECs and does not cover other types of Mr. Gatti’s Pizza facilities that the franchisor, its affiliates, or other franchisees may establish or operate.
