In Minnesota, can a Bumble Roofing franchisee consent to the franchisor obtaining injunctive relief?

According to the 2025 Bumble Roofing Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee in Minnesota cannot be required to consent to the franchisor obtaining injunctive relief. However, the document also states that a franchisee consents to the franchisor seeking injunctive relief without the necessity of showing actual or threatened harm. A court will determine if a bond or other security is required.

This means that while Bumble Roofing cannot force a franchisee to agree in advance to an injunction, the franchisee does consent to Bumble Roofing seeking injunctive relief. This could have significant implications for a franchisee facing legal action from Bumble Roofing, as the franchisee has already consented to Bumble Roofing seeking an injunction.

It is important for prospective franchisees to understand the legal implications of this consent and to seek legal advice before signing the franchise agreement. Franchisees should be aware that even though they consent to Bumble Roofing seeking injunctive relief, a court will still determine if a bond or other security is required, providing some level of protection.
