What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Minnesota franchisees are typically given 90 days' notice of termination, with 60 days to cure the default. This is due to Minnesota state law (Minn. Stat. Sec. 80C.14 Subd. 3, 4 and 5), which provides specific termination and nonrenewal rights to franchisees. The FDD states that this law requires that franchisees receive this notice period except in certain specified cases. Additionally, Minnesota law requires a franchisee be given 180 days' notice for nonrenewal of the franchise agreement.
This addendum ensures that Bambu franchisees in Minnesota receive the protections mandated by Minnesota's franchise laws, which may be more favorable than the standard terms in Bambu's franchise agreement.
