In Minnesota, what is the statute of limitations for commencing an action against Cream pursuant to Minnesota Statute 80C.17 Subd. 5?

According to Cream's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee's business is operated in Minnesota, any action commenced under Minn. Stat. Sec. 80C.17 has a statute of limitations of no more than three years after the cause of action accrues.

This means that a Cream franchisee operating in Minnesota only has three years from the date they knew or should have known about the issue to bring a legal claim under the specified statute. If the franchisee waits longer than three years, they may be barred from pursuing the claim in court.

This limitation is important for prospective Cream franchisees in Minnesota to understand, as it affects their legal rights and ability to seek remedies for potential issues that may arise during the franchise term. Franchisees should consult with an attorney to fully understand their rights and obligations under Minnesota law and the franchise agreement.
