How many days does a Cinnaholic franchisee have to cure a curable default after receiving written notice?

According to Cinnaholic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Minnesota franchisees are entitled to specific termination and non-renewal rights under Minnesota Statutes Section 80C.14, subds. 3, 4 and 5. These statutes mandate that Cinnaholic provide franchisees with 90 days' notice of termination, with a 60-day period to cure the default, except in certain specified cases. This addendum applies specifically to franchises sold in Minnesota.

This means that if Cinnaholic seeks to terminate a franchise agreement in Minnesota (outside of the exceptions noted in the statute), the franchisee must receive written notice at least 90 days in advance. Furthermore, the franchisee then has a 60-day window to correct, or "cure," the issue that led to the termination notice. If the franchisee successfully cures the default within this timeframe, Cinnaholic cannot terminate the agreement.

It is important to note that these specific cure rights apply only to Cinnaholic franchises operating in Minnesota due to the state-specific addendum to the Market Development Agreement. Franchisees in other states will be subject to the termination and cure provisions outlined in the standard franchise agreement, which may differ significantly. Prospective franchisees should carefully review Item 17 of the FDD and consult with an attorney to fully understand their termination and cure rights based on their specific location.
