What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cinnaholic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Minnesota franchisees are entitled to specific termination and non-renewal rights. Item 17 of the disclosure document is amended for Minnesota franchisees to include that, except in certain specified cases, franchisees must be given 90 days' notice of termination, with 60 days to cure the issue.
This means that if Cinnaholic decides to terminate a franchise agreement in Minnesota (excluding certain specified cases), the franchisee will receive a 90-day notice. Within that 90-day period, the franchisee has 60 days to correct the issues that led to the termination notice. If the franchisee successfully addresses these issues within the 60-day cure period, Cinnaholic may not be able to proceed with the termination.
It is important for prospective Cinnaholic franchisees in Minnesota to understand these specific protections, as they provide a longer cure period than might be available in other states. Franchisees should consult Minnesota Statutes Section 80C.14, subds. 3, 4, and 5 for a complete understanding of their termination and non-renewal rights.
