For Aerus franchises governed by Minnesota law, how much notice is the franchisee entitled to for non-renewal of the agreement?

According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees operating under Minnesota law are entitled to specific protections and notice periods. Aerus will adhere to Minnesota Statute Section 80C, Subds. 3, 4, and 5, which mandates that franchisees receive 180 days' notice for non-renewal of the franchise agreement.

This regulation ensures that Aerus franchisees in Minnesota have ample time to prepare for the end of their franchise term, allowing them to make informed decisions about their business and future plans. This extended notice period is particularly beneficial, as it provides franchisees with a longer window to negotiate a renewal, explore other business opportunities, or plan for the orderly closure of their Aerus franchise.

In addition to the non-renewal notice, Minnesota law also requires Aerus to provide 90 days' notice of termination, with 60 days to cure the issue, except in certain specified cases. These regulations collectively aim to protect the rights and interests of Aerus franchisees within the state, ensuring fair treatment and adequate time to address any potential issues or transitions.
