Territory Protection
The Tailored Closet offers limited territorial protection to its franchisees under the franchise agreement. Franchisees are granted a defined territory, typically consisting of approximately 100,000 households identified by ZIP codes, where no other franchisee or company-owned operation using The Tailored Closet's system and marks will be allowed to operate.
However, this protection does not guarantee complete exclusivity, as franchisees may still face competition from other channels, such as e-commerce or unrelated businesses using different marks.
While The Tailored Closet restricts direct competition within a franchisee’s designated territory, it reserves broad rights to sell products through alternative means like catalogs, the Internet, or direct marketing.
