What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Publications' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Minnesota franchisees are given specific protections under Minnesota law regarding franchise termination. Item 17 of the disclosure document is amended for Minnesota franchisees to comply with Minn. Stat. Sec. 80C.14, Subds. 3, 4 and 5.
Specifically, City Publications franchisees in Minnesota, except in certain specified cases, must be given 90 days' notice of termination. Within that 90-day notice period, the franchisee has 60 days to cure the reasons for the termination.
This amendment ensures that City Publications complies with Minnesota state law, which provides franchisees with more extensive notice and cure rights than may be outlined in the standard franchise agreement. This offers a significant benefit to franchisees in Minnesota, providing them with a longer period to address any issues and potentially save their franchise.
