How many days does an Aerus franchisee have to cure a breach in Minnesota?

According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Minnesota franchisees are given special consideration regarding termination and non-renewal notices. Aerus will comply with Minnesota Statute Section 80C, Subds. 3, 4, and 5, which, except in certain specified cases, mandates that franchisees receive 90 days' notice of termination, including 60 days to cure the breach.

This means that if Aerus decides to terminate a franchise agreement in Minnesota (excluding certain specified cases), the franchisee will first receive a written notice providing 90 days to address the issues leading to the potential termination. Within this 90-day period, the franchisee has 60 days to 'cure' or correct the problem. If the franchisee successfully rectifies the breach within those 60 days, Aerus cannot terminate the agreement.

For non-renewal of the franchise agreement, Aerus must provide the Minnesota franchisee with 180 days' notice. This extended notice period allows the franchisee more time to prepare for the end of the agreement, potentially negotiate new terms, or make alternative business arrangements. These regulations provide Minnesota Aerus franchisees with more protection compared to franchisees in some other states, where cure periods may be shorter or non-existent.
