In Minnesota, how many days' notice must Anago provide for non-renewal of the Subfranchise Rights Agreement?

According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Minnesota law stipulates that Anago must provide subfranchisees with 180 days' notice for non-renewal of the Subfranchise Rights Agreement. This requirement is in place to provide franchisees with ample time to prepare for the end of their agreement and to make necessary arrangements for their business.

This notice period allows the franchisee to evaluate their options, which may include negotiating a renewal, selling the franchise, or making plans to exit the business. It also gives them time to seek legal and financial advice to ensure they understand their rights and obligations during the non-renewal process. The 180-day notice period is designed to protect franchisees and provide them with a fair opportunity to manage the transition.

It's important to note that this requirement is specific to Minnesota, as franchise laws vary by state. Franchisees in other states may have different notice periods or rights regarding non-renewal. Anago must also provide 90 days' notice of termination (with 60 days to cure) of the Subfranchise Rights Agreement, except in certain specified cases.
