Legal Question in Business Law in North Carolina

Is there a law against restricting commerce by a company selling one account and not selling a competitor nearby? Is the company obligated by law to sell both companies if they both ask for the product or service? Can the company say no to one prospect because there is a current customer down the street if it is not a francise being sold?
