Anonymous This business is a franchisee 'for or of' Chevrolet. Thanks Don't you mean "franchise"? I'd use "of" in that case.

No, I meant franchisee, when someone is given the right to sell a company's goods (the franchise). Should 'of' also be used in that case?Thanks!

CalifJim answered you for conversationally, "This business is a franchise of Chevrolet." On the legal usage, in private contract talks, you might see, 'Franchisee agrees..." for, or on behalf of, Chevrolet.

I'm sorry, but I can't help you on that. I'm not familiar with that usage, but see Anonymous's post above.
