Absolutley. If you own a franchise of a major food chain, there are plenty of regulations about where you can locate.
That’s part of their contract, not government action. They could sue the company.
This is a company filed with a government regulator who I guess has to approve these things?

GM kinda sucks for approving it.
You can pencil that in on that growing list.
Right under "taking a damn good engine that is reliable and ruining it" with the multiple bullet points of examples.

They make all their money off of the service sector from people who insist on taking their cars/trucks to the stealership.
Their finance department holds APR points on people who insist on financing through the stealership. The same people buy inflated warranties, and get completely ripped off.

Who is Benson complaining to.....GM or the parish? And does her complaint have any legitimate reasoning?
I'm sure there's some exclusivity guarantees within a certain radius as part of their GM contract, but since the new Bowers location will actually be further away from Best Chevy, then I don't know how that argument would hold any water.
And unless the parish has to rezone the property to be used as a dealership, I don't see what grounds she'd have to complain there. But given the location of that property, I'd imagine its already got the zoning that Bowers would need.

So Best Chevrolet is mad because Bowers wants to move his dealership over a full mile further away from their dealership than they currently are? And they claim they advertise as "the chevrolet dealership on veterans" but I have never heard it advertised as that so their "marketing" complaint is moot.
And Benson is mad because it will give competition to her dealership yet hers is a luxury brand so it's not direct competition.
And Banner Chevrolet is mad because they've been asking GM to move for years but never had the property to do it and Bowers has owned this land for a long time and finally wants to use it?
