Question:

Copeland contracted with McDonald’s Systems, Inc., for a franchise. Copeland was granted the fast-food outlet franchise for Omaha. McDonald’s also gave Copeland first refusal rights for any plans to open other franchise outlets in Omaha.

Was Mc-Donald’s, correct? Explain. Schupack v. McDonald’s Systems, Inc., 264 N.W.2d 827 (NE).
