To whom does the Wisconsin section of the Costa Vida Fresh Mexican Grill FDD addendum apply?

According to the 2025 Costa Vida Fresh Mexican Grill Franchise Disclosure Document, the Wisconsin section of the addendum applies specifically to two categories of franchisees. First, it applies to franchisees who are residents of Wisconsin. Second, it applies to franchisees who, regardless of their residency, choose to locate their Costa Vida Fresh Mexican Grill franchise within the state of Wisconsin.

This means that if you are a Wisconsin resident, the Wisconsin-specific stipulations within the addendum, particularly the amendment to Item 17 regarding the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law, will be relevant to your franchise agreement. Similarly, if you plan to open a Costa Vida Fresh Mexican Grill location in Wisconsin, even if you live in another state, these stipulations will also apply to you.

Prospective franchisees should carefully review the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law mentioned in the addendum, as it may affect the termination provisions of the franchise agreement. Understanding these state-specific regulations is crucial for any franchisee operating within Wisconsin to ensure compliance and protect their rights under the law.
