How much notice will Bee Organized give a franchisee of non-renewal of the agreement in Minnesota?

According to Bee Organized's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Minnesota franchisees are entitled to specific non-renewal rights under Minnesota law. Except for certain specified cases, Bee Organized must provide the franchisee with 180 days' notice of nonrenewal of the Franchise Agreement.

This amendment ensures that Bee Organized franchisees in Minnesota receive the minimum notice period required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 80C.14, subdivisions 3, 4, and 5. This provision aims to protect franchisees by giving them ample time to prepare for the end of their franchise term, whether by seeking a renewal, selling the business, or making other arrangements.

Prospective franchisees should be aware of these protections, as they provide a degree of security and time to plan for the future of their business. It is important to note that the 180-day notice requirement does not apply in all circumstances, so franchisees should carefully review the specific exceptions outlined in the Minnesota Franchise Act.
