The Michelin Commercial Service Network franchise allocates specific operating areas to its franchisees but does not promise exclusive territory protection. Franchisees are expected to conduct business within their designated areas; however, the agreement permits the franchisor or other franchisees to operate in the same territory.
This means that although franchisees have a defined operating area, it is not exclusively theirs, allowing for potential competition within the franchise network.
