what is my protected territory?
Playa Bowl franchisees all have protected territories for each location. The size of the territories will vary according to population density of the market.
Dense, urban, foot-traffic markets like Manhattan and will understandably have smaller territories. The typical neighborhood residential area will have larger territories. Once a lease is signed, Playa Bowls will research the market and offer you a protected territory for that location.
Multi-unit franchisees will be offered a protected development for multiple locations. The size of this territory will vary depending on the size of the commitment. For more information, complete the form below and hold a call with Playa Bowls’ Franchisee Recruitment Manager.
