Territory Protection
Rockstars of Tomorrow grants franchisees a protected territory, which is typically defined based on local population density. This territory can vary from a quarter-mile radius in urban areas to up to ten miles in rural settings.
While the franchisor will not open or authorize another outlet within the designated area as long as the franchisee fulfills their obligations, the protection does not extend to exclusivity, and competition from other channels or brands controlled by the franchisor is still possible.
The franchisee is licensed to operate only within this specified territory and must focus their efforts exclusively in that area unless otherwise agreed in writing.
