What is the range of Wisconsin statutes cited in relation to the Floors To Go franchise?

According to the 2025 Floors To Go Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise operations in Wisconsin are subject to specific state laws. The document cites the Wisconsin Franchise Investment Law, specifically Wisconsin Statutes §§ 553.01 to 553.78. Additionally, it mentions the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law, which is covered under Wisconsin Statutes, Chapter 135.

This means that Floors To Go franchisees in Wisconsin must comply with both the Wisconsin Franchise Investment Law and the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law. These laws likely cover aspects such as franchise registration, disclosure requirements, and the rights and obligations of both the franchisor and franchisee. The Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law may provide additional protections to franchisees, similar to those of a dealer, regarding termination or non-renewal of the franchise agreement.

Prospective Floors To Go franchisees in Wisconsin should carefully review these statutes and seek legal counsel to fully understand their rights and obligations under Wisconsin law. The FDD also states that each provision of the addendum to the Franchise Disclosure Document is effective only to the extent that the jurisdictional requirements of the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law are met independently without reference to the addendum. This suggests that the applicability of certain provisions may depend on whether the franchisee independently meets the criteria for protection under the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law.
