What is the minimum cure period Hyper Kidz franchisees in Minnesota must receive for termination of their franchise agreement (excluding specified cases)?

According to the 2024 Hyper Kidz Franchise Disclosure Document, Minnesota franchisees are entitled to specific protections under Minnesota law. Specifically, Minnesota Statutes, Section 80C.14, Subd. 3-5, mandates that Hyper Kidz franchisees, except in certain specified cases, must receive a minimum of 60 days to cure a breach of the franchise agreement before termination.

This requirement means that if Hyper Kidz seeks to terminate a franchise agreement in Minnesota (excluding certain specified cases), the franchisee must first be given written notice of the reasons for termination and a 60-day period to correct the issues. If the franchisee successfully addresses the issues within this timeframe, Hyper Kidz cannot terminate the agreement. This provision offers Hyper Kidz franchisees in Minnesota a degree of protection against potentially abrupt or unfair terminations, allowing them time to rectify any shortcomings and maintain their franchise.

In addition to the cure period, Minnesota law also requires that Hyper Kidz provide a 90-day notice of termination and a 180-day notice for non-renewal of the franchise agreement. These regulations ensure that franchisees have adequate time to prepare for the end of their franchise relationship, whether through termination or non-renewal, and to make necessary arrangements for their business and personal affairs. These stipulations reflect Minnesota's commitment to safeguarding the rights and interests of franchisees operating within the state.
