What agreement is the Rider annexed to for a Chesters franchise?

According to the 2025 Chesters Franchise Disclosure Document, the Rider is annexed to a specific agreement between Chesters and the franchisee. The Rider is part of an agreement that has been signed concurrently with the signing of the Rider itself. This agreement is dated for the year 20--. The Rider becomes a part of the agreement because the franchise offer or sale for the restaurant was made in Minnesota, or the restaurant will be located or operated in Minnesota.

This means that the Rider modifies the original franchise agreement to account for specific legal requirements or conditions applicable in Minnesota. The Rider addresses issues such as the use of marks, liquidated damages, renewal and termination rights, waiver of jury trial, and governing law, ensuring that the franchise agreement complies with Minnesota state laws.

For a prospective Chesters franchisee in Minnesota, this Rider is crucial as it provides additional protections and rights under Minnesota law. It is important to carefully review the Rider in conjunction with the main franchise agreement to fully understand the terms and conditions of the franchise, especially concerning termination, renewal, and dispute resolution.
