What jurisdictional requirements must be satisfied for the Minnesota addendum to take effect for a Brueggers Bagels franchise?

According to the 2025 Brueggers Bagels Franchise Disclosure Document, the Minnesota addendum to either the Development Agreement, the Franchise Agreement, or the License Agreement will only take effect if the specific agreement and/or the relationship between the franchisee and Brueggers Franchise Corporation (BFC) satisfy all of the jurisdictional requirements of Minnesota. This condition ensures that the addendum is applicable and enforceable under Minnesota law.

This requirement means that a prospective Brueggers Bagels franchisee in Minnesota must ensure that their agreement and relationship with BFC meet all the legal criteria established by Minnesota's jurisdiction. These jurisdictional requirements are not further defined within the excerpt, so a franchisee should seek clarification from Brueggers Bagels or legal counsel to fully understand these conditions.

The inclusion of this clause protects the franchisee by ensuring that the addendum, which modifies the standard franchise agreement to comply with Minnesota law, is only effective if the underlying agreement and relationship are indeed subject to Minnesota's jurisdiction. This prevents the addendum from being misapplied or rendered ineffective due to jurisdictional issues. It is common practice for franchise agreements to include addenda that address specific state laws, and these addenda often contain provisions that clarify their applicability based on jurisdictional requirements.
