Territory

The franchise agreement gives you the right to operate an Outdoor Connection business in a territory we will designate at the time you sign the franchise agreement. 

If you own a pre-existing retail store in your territory, you may locate your Outdoor Connection business in that retail store.  If you own multiple stores in that territory you may also operate Outdoor Connection businesses from these stores.  Multiple franchise purchases are also available and discounted rates are offered.  

The geographic area we describe in your franchise agreement will be your designated territory, and we will not offer anyone else a franchise to open a business promoting and arranging outdoor sporting adventures in that territory.  We also will not open a business promoting and arranging outdoor sporting adventures in that territory ourselves. 

We do not prevent any of our franchisees from advertising their business, or soliciting customers outside their designated territory.

In addition, if you do not attend a particular trade show held in your designated territory, we will encourage a neighboring franchisee to exhibit at that show.  We have established policies that give you the first opportunity to exhibit at trade shows in your designated territory, but that also give others the right to exhibit at those shows if you do not choose to do so.
