Walgreen, a company that had dealership agreements with several independent dealers in Wisconsin, terminated these agreements without good cause. The plaintiffs filed a lawsuit under the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law, which protects dealers from termination without good cause to prevent financial hardship and address the power imbalance between grantors and dealers. The court determined that two of the plaintiffs' agreements were not covered by the law because they were renewals of earlier agreements executed before the law explicitly covered renewal agreements. However, the court ruled that the other plaintiffs were protected by the law, and the defendant was liable for damages resulting from termination.
