The franchise requires that I have a retail location, but they sell product through their online store. Is this OK?

Let me see. You are paying the franchisor a franchise fee, investing a lot of money to open the location, paying the landlord a lot of money, and then paying the franchisor weekly royalties and advertising fees. Then the franchisor wants to turn around and use your money to compete with you by implementing a low-cost web-based channel strategy? This sounds like it could be potentially very damaging to your business.
