Doesn't matter where the first store was. Once they hit 11 they are subject to the ordinance. The existing locations can stay but new ones have to comply which can mean they are prohibited. |
Is it not possible to get around this by splitting the business.
I.e. I open 11 branches of Jonesy's All English Steak & Kidney Pie shops owned by me through Jonesycorp Inc. Then when I want to open the 12th I use identical branding and menu but it's owned by Jonesycorp2 Inc.
