OPINION

HUSPENI, Judge.

Appellant Pacific Equipment & Irrigation, Inc. (Pacific) was a distributor of products for respondent, The Toro Company (Toro). When Toro decided to terminate Pacific’s distributorship, Pacific sought injunctive relief to prevent Toro from doing so. Pacific argues that the district court erred in denying its temporary injunction motion. Because we conclude that the district court properly evaluated and balanced the five factors set forth in Dahlberg Bros., Inc. v. Ford Motor Co., 272 Minn. 264, 137 N.W.2d 314 (1965), we affirm.
