About COUSINS SUBS
COUSINS SUBS is a registered franchise offering services in the Food & Beverage sector.
Territory — what the FDD says (Item 12)
Under this brand's Item 12 rule, you do not receive an exclusive territory. The franchisor may sell additional franchises in the same area. It may also operate company units there. Or it may sell through other channels. No area is reserved for you. No area is closed to you by another franchisee's exclusivity either. Placement is the franchisor's decision.
The FDD's own words (Item 12): “Cousins and its affiliates will not, so long as the Franchise Agreement is in effect and you are in compliance with the Franchise Agreement, operate or grant a franchise for the operation of another Cousins Subs Shop within a radius of 1 mile of the premises of your Shop except for Non-Traditional Venues (defined below), or if, in Cousins judgment, the Shop is located within a central business district in which case the 1 mile radius protection will not apply. Except as disclosed above, you will not receive an exclusive territory under the Franchise Agreement. You may face competition from other Cousins Subs Shops that Cousins or its affiliates franchise or own and that operate at traditional sites outside your territory, or from other channels of distribution or competitive businesses that Cousins controls. Continuation of any territorial protection granted to you is not dependent on your achievement of any sales volume, market penetration or other contingency nor may any territorial protection granted to you be altered under any circumstances.”

Availability
Because this brand grants no exclusive territory, there are no territory-based exclusions: no area is reserved for an existing franchisee, and no area is reserved for you. Whether a new unit is placed anywhere is the franchisor's decision under Item 12.
