Under what condition does the Minnesota Addendum to the Brueggers Bagels License Agreement take effect?

According to the 2025 Brueggers Bagels Franchise Disclosure Document, the Minnesota Addendum to the License Agreement takes effect only if the License Agreement and/or the relationship between the franchisee and Bruegger's Franchise Corporation (BFC) satisfy all jurisdictional requirements of Minnesota. This condition ensures that the addendum, which modifies the standard License Agreement to comply with Minnesota law, only applies when the franchise is operating within the legal jurisdiction of Minnesota.

This requirement means that if the franchise or the relationship between the franchisee and Brueggers Bagels does not meet Minnesota's jurisdictional requirements, the addendum will not be in effect, and the standard License Agreement terms would apply instead. This could have implications for the franchisee's rights and obligations, as the protections and modifications provided by the Minnesota Addendum would not be applicable.

Prospective Brueggers Bagels franchisees in Minnesota should ensure they understand the jurisdictional requirements of Minnesota law and how they apply to their specific franchise agreement and relationship with BFC. It would be prudent to consult with a legal professional familiar with franchise law in Minnesota to confirm that the addendum will be in effect and that they are fully aware of their rights and obligations under both the standard License Agreement and the Minnesota Addendum.
