When a neighboring franchise encroaches on your territory, it's essential to handle the situation diplomatically. Here's how to assert your boundaries effectively:
- Review your franchise agreement. Know the specifics of territorial rights to discuss facts, not just feelings.
- Engage in a direct but polite conversation with the other franchise owner to clarify boundaries and express concerns.
- If needed, enlist mediation from the franchisor to resolve disputes impartially.
