Cambria Company, LLC v. M&M Creative Laminants, Inc. dba M&M Creative Laminates, Inc., ...

Summary

The Supreme Court of Minnesota affirmed the lower courts, holding that the Minnesota Franchise Act does not categorically bar an out‑of‑state company from enforcing an unfair‑termination claim under section 80C.14, and that payments for finished quartz products at a bona‑fide wholesale price—including embedded fabrication services—are not “franchise fees” within the Act’s definition, so the parties’ relationship was not a franchise.
