What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Minnesota franchisees have specific protections under state law. The Minnesota Addendum to the Franchise Agreement explicitly addresses franchisor requirements and franchisee rights within the state.

Specifically, Minnesota Rules 2860.4400(D) prohibits Best Brains from requiring a franchisee in Minnesota to assent to a Release. This means that Best Brains cannot mandate that a franchisee in Minnesota agree to a release as part of the franchise agreement.

This protection ensures that Minnesota franchisees retain their legal rights and recourse, preventing Best Brains from imposing potentially unfair or restrictive release agreements. Prospective franchisees in Minnesota should carefully review the Minnesota Addendum to fully understand their rights and protections under state law.
