Where can I find a copy of the surety bond that Alloy has posted with the State of Minnesota?

According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, due to the franchisor's financial condition, the Minnesota Department of Commerce requires a financial assurance. To meet this requirement, Alloy has posted a surety bond with the State of Minnesota. The FDD indicates that a copy of this surety bond is included as an exhibit to the Minnesota addenda pages.

For a prospective Alloy franchisee in Minnesota, this means that the surety bond provides a level of financial protection. If Alloy were to default on certain obligations, franchisees could potentially make a claim against the bond to recover losses. The Minnesota addenda pages, which contain the specific terms and conditions of the franchise agreement as it applies to Minnesota franchisees, should be carefully reviewed, with particular attention to the exhibit containing the surety bond.

It is important to note that the FDD mentions the surety bond is related to Alloy's financial condition, which may be a point of concern for potential franchisees. They should carefully evaluate Alloy's financial stability and understand the terms of the surety bond, including the coverage amount and the process for making a claim. Consulting with a franchise attorney is advisable to fully understand the implications of the surety bond and the franchisor's financial situation.
