Questions to ask the franchisor

Generated from what this brand's FDD data does not disclose — ask SAMCO directly:

Territory — what the FDD says (Item 12)

Protected territory — classified from Item 12, p.40 of the brand's FDD

Under this brand's Item 12 rule, the territory carries some protection but not full exclusivity — for example, the franchisor may reserve certain channels or accounts. Future concepts may also be reserved. Areas inside an existing franchisee's protected territory are generally not available to a new buyer for a directly competing unit; the exact limits are in the FDD text quoted above.

The FDD's own words (Item 12): “territory is NOT exclusive - the FDD states you will not receive an exclusive territory.”
