What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the standard franchise agreement allows a franchisee 30 days to cure a termination notice. However, the Minnesota Addendum to the Franchise Agreement provides additional protections for franchisees operating in Minnesota.
Specifically, for franchises governed by Minnesota law, Zoomin Groomin must comply with Minnesota Statutes, Sec. 80C.14 Subds. 3, 4, and 5. These statutes generally require that a franchisee be given 90 days' notice of termination, with 60 days to cure the issue. This Minnesota-specific provision supersedes the standard 30-day cure period outlined in the main franchise agreement.
Therefore, a Zoomin Groomin franchisee in Minnesota would typically have 60 days to cure a termination notice, a longer period than in many other states, providing more opportunity to resolve any issues and maintain their franchise.
