James B. Mcgann and Wife v. United Safari

CRAWFORD, J. In this non-jury case, United Safari, Inc. (Safari), has appealed from the judgment of the trial court denying it recovery for royalty payments due under a license or franchise agreement. The license agreement in question, dated February 1, 1976 and due to run for a term of ten years, was originally between United Safari International, Inc., as the licensor and Wanda and Karl Barnett, licensees. It authorized the licensees to operate a camping resort at Pigeon Forge, Tennessee under the Safari national system of franchised camping resorts. The agreement also stated that no additional Safari campground would be located within fifteen miles thereof.
