The Pretzel Twister grants exclusive territory to mall-based franchises, limiting other franchises from operating within the same mall, center, or store. For food trucks, a non-exclusive protected territory is provided, which prevents overlap unless the franchisor deems another franchisee better suited to serve a specific customer or event.
However, the franchisor reserves the right to sell or license products through supermarkets, online platforms, and other retail channels, even within a franchisee’s territory. Franchisees do not receive compensation from these alternative sales.
