Franchise territory dispute

Hi, i found a great location to expand my franchise holdings that is located in a gray area between my current franchise and another franchise owned by someone else. Nobody has territory rights in this gray area.

I am being told by my franchisor that they want the other franchisee to develop the great spot I found because they have more stores and more experience. The franchisor is giving all my research about the great spot to the other franchisee without my permission.

Do I have any legal rights in this situation?

Thanks so much
