What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Minnesota franchisees are entitled to specific protections under Minnesota law. All Team must comply with MINN. STAT. SECTION 80C.14 SUBD. 3-5, which mandates that franchisees in Minnesota receive 90 days' notice of termination, with 60 days to cure the default, except in certain specified cases. Additionally, Minnesota franchisees must receive 180 days' notice for non-renewal of the franchise agreement. Consent to the transfer of the franchise cannot be unreasonably withheld.
This means that if All Team seeks to terminate a franchise agreement in Minnesota (except for specific violations), the franchisee has a 60-day window to correct the issues that led to the termination notice. Failing to cure within this period allows All Team to proceed with terminating the agreement. This longer cure period, mandated by Minnesota law, supersedes any shorter cure periods that might be outlined in the standard All Team franchise agreement.
These regulations provide significant protection to All Team franchisees in Minnesota, ensuring they have adequate time to address any issues before the franchise can be terminated or not renewed. Prospective franchisees should be aware of these state-specific protections and understand how they differ from the standard terms of the All Team franchise agreement.
