Territory Protection
Splash and Dash offers territory protection through a “Protected Store Territory” defined in each franchise agreement. Within this area, the franchisor agrees not to open or license another Splash and Dash location offering similar goods and services.
The territory typically includes a three-mile radius or a population of 75,000 people, depending on which is smaller, and is confirmed either at the time of signing or later through a Location Acceptance Letter.
However, this protection has limitations. If a franchisee fails to meet minimum performance standards for two consecutive years, the franchisor reserves the right to reduce or eliminate territory protection.
