Does entering a judgment prohibit Craters & Freighters from seeking injunctive relief?

According to the 2025 Craters & Freighters Franchise Disclosure Document, Minnesota franchisees cannot consent to Craters & Freighters obtaining injunctive relief. However, Craters & Freighters may still seek injunctive relief in Minnesota. The court will determine if a bond is required.

This means that while Craters & Freighters retains the right to pursue injunctive relief against a franchisee in Minnesota, the franchisee's consent is not required for them to do so. This protects the franchisee from being forced into an agreement that could be detrimental to their interests. However, the franchisee should be aware that Craters & Freighters can still seek an injunction, and the court will decide whether a bond is necessary.

This provision is specific to Minnesota due to state franchise laws and regulations. Franchisees in other states may have different rights and obligations regarding injunctive relief. Therefore, prospective franchisees should carefully review the FDD and any applicable state laws to understand their rights in the state where they plan to operate their Craters & Freighters franchise.
