Across the 50 automotive franchise systems in our database, median initial investment runs $189K–$620K. Note that some emerging brands may not yet be registered to sell in Minnesota — verify status before signing. Each FDD's Item 7 provides the exact investment range for that brand.

52% of the automotive franchises in our Minnesota dataset disclose Item 19 financial performance representations. The remainder rely on Item 1 (business background) and Item 7 (initial investment) without making earnings claims. Brands disclosing Item 19 give you the strongest basis for projecting unit-level revenue.
What Minnesota-specific factors affect automotive franchise unit economics?
MN Franchise Act good-cause termination provisions cannot be waived by contract. Twin Cities corporate-HQ density (Target, 3M, UnitedHealth) supports B2B and professional-services franchises.
Is the franchise I'm interested in registered to sell in Minnesota?
Minnesota is a registration state. Verify the franchisor's registration with the Minnesota Department of Commerce before signing anything. An offer to sell a franchise in Minnesota without registration is itself a violation of state law and a major red flag.
