What is the deadline for a Spray Net franchisee to submit a renewal request?
Spray_Net Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
With respect to franchises governed by Minnesota law, we will comply with Minnesota Statute 80C.14 Subd. 3-5, which require (except in certain specified cases) that (1) a franchisee be given 90 days' notice of termination (with 60 days to cure) and 180 days' notice for non-renewal of the franchise agreement, and (2) that consent to the transfer of the franchise will not be unreasonably withheld.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Spray Net Franchise Disclosure Document does not specify a deadline for franchisees to submit a renewal request. However, the Minnesota Addendum to the Franchise Disclosure Document does state that Minnesota Statute 80C.14 Subd. 3-5 requires that a franchisee be given 180 days' notice for non-renewal of the Franchise Agreement.
This implies that a Spray Net franchisee in Minnesota would likely need to submit a renewal request at least 180 days before the end of their current franchise term to allow Spray Net sufficient time to decide on the renewal and provide the required notice if they choose not to renew the agreement.
As the FDD does not specify the renewal request deadline for other states, it would be prudent for a prospective Spray Net franchisee to clarify the renewal request deadline with the franchisor during their due diligence, to ensure they are aware of the required timelines and can avoid any potential issues with renewing their franchise agreement.
