11. But like any franchisee, there must be some corporate rules and guidelines

from the corporate parent. Or coop (and coops can be as dictatorial as any corporation. I live where there is a homeowner's association, and their endless rules would make Hitler blush. And it just keeps getting worse year after year. So I don't see coops as some wonderfully wonderful benign thing. Have also read about and worked with electric coops, sheesh).

One reasonable one that corporate or coop parent orgarnizations might be to keep political displays out of the stores, so stores seem welcoming to all. OTOH, "MyPillow Sold Here!!!" on a store window likely wouldn't violate any guideline.

Is it worthwhile to write to Ace corporate is what I'm wondering, about their local franchise prominently advertising and pushing a seditionist's product.
