About Samurai Sam’s Teriyaki Grill
TERRITORY (Item 12): territory is NOT exclusive - the FDD states you will not receive an exclusive territory. Our predecessor, Kahala Franchise Corp., did not conduct the type of business the franchisee will operate, but its affiliate, Kahala Holdings, L.L.C., an Arizona limited liability company
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): “territory is NOT exclusive - the FDD states you will not receive an exclusive territory. Our predecessor, Kahala Franchise Corp., did not conduct the type of business the franchisee will operate, but its affiliate, Kahala Holdings, L.L.C., an Arizona limited liability company”

Availability
