I'll add my 2c here... I don't think you need to create an app for this (not yet). Just create a normal Django project and go from there. Apps are more meant for very generic types of functionality that can be used in many, many situations e.g. tagging.
Your design is still very broad and so hard to comment on. You may want to consider a many-to-many between customer and branch. Then you can add data for each without being dependant on either existing first. This also gives you the flexibility to link up the same customer to many branches.
