What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bee Organized's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Michigan FDD Amendment addresses franchise termination. It states that Bee Organized can only terminate a franchise agreement before its expiration for "good cause."
"Good cause" is defined as the franchisee's failure to comply with any lawful provision of the Franchise Agreement. However, Bee Organized must provide the franchisee with written notice of the failure and a reasonable opportunity to correct it.
The amendment specifies that the opportunity to cure the failure does not need to be more than 30 days. This means that if a Bee Organized franchisee in Michigan violates the Franchise Agreement, they have a maximum of 30 days to fix the issue after receiving written notice, or Bee Organized can terminate the agreement.
