Smoothie Factory does not provide its franchisees with exclusive territory protection. While the franchise agreement may outline a defined “Site Selection Area” for store development, it does not guarantee exclusive rights to that geographic area.
The franchisor retains the right to establish additional franchises or operate company-owned outlets in proximity to the franchisee's store. Furthermore, even if a territory is specified, Smoothie Factory may still engage in various distribution channels within that area.
These channels could include mobile units, satellite locations, internet sales, or other alternative venues that may compete directly with the franchisee’s business. Therefore, franchisees should not expect complete market exclusivity when entering into an agreement with Smoothie Factory.
