As a Franchise Attorney I can this. If you didn't sign a non-compete, your employer will be challenged to enforce a contract you didn't sign. As to customers switching to your new business, that all depends on how they decided to switch. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice (in advance) as this is not something to attempt on your own.
