I located the following source for obtaining the
information you need: Empower Geographics, at:
http://www.empowergeo.com/index.htm
As you will see from their website, they provide
software solutions to address many business needs,
However, you seem more interested in obtaining
a one-time result of such software, on a consulting
basis. Therefore, I called their toll-free number
from this page:
http://www.empowergeo.com/pages/contacta.htm
and spoke to a representative named Sinam.
He assured me that they could utilize their
software and databases to arrive at the information
you are seeking, and provide you with a breakdown
of the USA into 250 sections, taking into account
population and driving distance. If you require
a template in addition, I believe they can assist
you.
Sinam noted that he would have to clarify with you,
via a couple of phone calls, the manner in which
you wish to incorporate the drive-time or driving
distance factor into the data you are seeking,
but assured me that his company is capable of
arriving at the results you require, in a
reasonable time, and for a reasonable fee.
I gave him my email, and he quickly sent me the
following reply:
_______________________________________________
"It was good talking to you today."
"We are happy to provide an estimate of work for
producing 250 region/territories based on
population and drive times with your client."
"We have some options in terms of datasets to use
and output deliverables, but a few conversations
with the client will produce the information
required for a time/budget estimate."
"We have recently changed our website, so below
please find some useful links."

I received a call just now from EmpowerGeo,
thanking me for referring you to their
services, and indicating that they had
been able to satisfy your business needs.
I am pleased to have been of assistance,
and hope your franchising enterprise is
successful.
It would be exciting to know what the name
of the franchise will be, so that I could
follow its progress as time goes on,
however, I would understand if you prefer
to keep this information to yourself.
