What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Minnesota Statute 80C.14 subdivisions 3, 4, and 5, requires Learningrx to provide a Learningrx franchisee with one hundred eighty (180) days' notice for non-renewal of the Franchise Agreement and Area Developer Agreement.
In addition to the notice period, Minnesota law stipulates that Learningrx must provide ninety (90) days' notice of termination, along with sixty (60) days to cure the issue, except in certain specific cases.
