Is a radius of 5 miles from any other Carbones Pizzeria restaurant included in the Restricted Area?

According to the 2025 Carbones Pizzeria Franchise Disclosure Document, the Restricted Area includes a radius of 5 miles from any other Carbones Pizzeria restaurant. The Restricted Area is defined as the Franchisee Territory, a radius of 25 miles from the Franchisee Territory, and a radius of 5 miles from any other restaurant or other facility operated under the Names and Marks.

This means that Carbones Pizzeria franchisees are granted a territory where the franchisor will not open another location or grant a franchise to someone else. In addition to this territory, the franchisee also has a 25-mile radius around their territory and a 5-mile radius from any other Carbones Pizzeria location where the franchisor will not open another location or grant a franchise to someone else.

This provides some protection to the franchisee from direct competition from other Carbones Pizzeria locations. However, it is important to note that the franchisor can still operate similar businesses within the Franchisee Territory if they do not operate under the Carbone's Pizza or Carbone's Pizzeria names. The franchisor can also sell frozen pizzas and other frozen items to customers and resellers who may be located in the Franchisee Territory, including supermarkets and convenience stores.
