What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Dryject outlet in Minnesota was not non-renewed, but rather terminated in 2024. The table provided in Item 20 outlines the changes in the number of outlets for each state over the past three years.
Specifically, for Minnesota in 2024, the table shows that there was one outlet at the start of the year, no outlets opened during the year, one termination, and zero non-renewals. This resulted in zero outlets at the end of the year.
This distinction between termination and non-renewal is important for prospective franchisees. A termination typically implies a breach of contract or other negative event, while a non-renewal simply means the franchise agreement was not extended at the end of its term. The FDD does not provide specific reasons for the Minnesota termination, but further details may be available in Exhibit I, which lists franchisees who ceased business under the agreement or had an outlet terminated, canceled, or not renewed within the last fiscal year.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review Exhibit I and consider speaking with current and former Dryject franchisees to understand the circumstances surrounding terminations and non-renewals. Understanding the reasons behind these changes can provide valuable insight into the health and stability of the Dryject franchise system.
