What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 FDD, the Multi-State Addenda for Monicals Pizza is designed to address specific legal requirements and regulations that vary from state to state. These addenda modify the standard franchise agreement to ensure compliance with local franchise laws, fair dealership laws, and other relevant statutes.

For example, the addendum for Maryland acknowledges the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law, clarifying that this law prevails in case of conflicting laws and specifying that claims must be brought within three years. Similarly, the addendum for Minnesota addresses the Minnesota Franchise Law, ensuring that Monicals Pizza complies with notice requirements for non-renewal and termination, and that developers are not required to consent to liquidated damages, as prohibited by Minnesota Rule. The Minnesota addendum also ensures that the developer's rights under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 80C, are not reduced or abrogated.

In Wisconsin, the addendum states that the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law supersedes any conflicting terms in the franchise agreement. These addenda ensure that Monicals Pizza's franchise agreements are tailored to meet the legal standards of each state, protecting both the franchisor and the franchisee by clarifying rights and obligations under local laws. The Multi-State Addenda are included as Exhibit 6 to the Franchise Agreement.
