Territory Protection

Sit Still Kid's Salon Franchise offers territory protection to its franchisees.

This protection helps franchisees build and maintain a strong customer base without the concern of nearby franchisees diluting their market.

It also allows franchisees to invest in and develop their location with the confidence that their business will not face direct competition from within the franchise system.
