What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bee Organized's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Minnesota franchisees are entitled to specific termination rights under Minnesota law. In most situations, Bee Organized must provide the franchisee with 90 days' notice of termination, during which the franchisee has 60 days to cure the issue.
This amendment to the franchise agreement acknowledges the legal protections afforded to franchisees in Minnesota, specifically referencing Minnesota Statutes Section 80C.14 Subdivisions 3, 4, and 5. These statutes mandate that, except in certain cases, Bee Organized must give a franchisee 90 days' notice of termination, with 60 days to cure the default.
This means that if Bee Organized intends to terminate a franchise agreement in Minnesota (excluding certain specified cases), the franchisee will receive advance notice and an opportunity to resolve the issues that led to the termination notice. The franchisee has 60 days to take corrective action to address the stated defaults and prevent the termination from taking effect. This cure period allows the franchisee to rectify the situation and maintain their franchise agreement, providing a safeguard against abrupt or unfair termination.
