Encroachment.
According to the book Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser on page 99, "the fast food chains are periodically sued by franchisees who are upset about encroachment" encroachment to me in my own words is like the opening of others restaurant of the same chain opens nearby,wich means more profit for franchoisors, less custumers, according to Susan Kezios,president of the the american franchise association, the contract offered by fast food chainsoftenoften require a franchisee to waive his or her right to file complaints under state law.
