In Minnesota, does the B Bops agreement abrogate or reduce any rights of the Developer as provided for in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 80C?

According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Multiple-Unit Development Agreement includes an addendum for the state of Minnesota. Specifically, Section 25 of the agreement is amended to ensure that the agreement does not diminish or nullify any rights of the Developer as outlined in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 80C. This provision is included to comply with Minnesota Statutes Section 80C.21 and Minnesota Rule Part 2860.4400J.

This means that B Bops franchisees in Minnesota retain all the rights granted to them under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 80C, and the franchise agreement cannot override those rights. This protection is significant for developers in Minnesota, as it ensures that their legal rights under state law are preserved throughout the term of their agreement with B Bops.

For a prospective B Bops franchisee in Minnesota, this clause offers reassurance that the franchise agreement is aligned with state law and that their rights as a franchisee are protected. It is common for franchise agreements to include state-specific addenda to comply with local regulations, and this clause reflects B Bops's adherence to Minnesota's franchise laws.
