A court may find the restriction on competition to be unreasonable due to its wide geographic scope, as 300 miles is a large area. However, the court may also choose to reform the covenant, which means modifying it to make it more reasonable and enforceable, such as reducing the geographic scope to a more reasonable distance. The court is unlikely to prohibit both parties from opening used clothing shops as it would be too extreme and not necessary to protect the parties' interests.
