Besides the modifications in the Addendum, what is the status of the Kitchen Solvers Franchise Agreement?

According to Kitchen Solvers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchise Agreement remains in full force and effect except as expressly modified by the addendum. This statement appears in addenda for multiple states, including New York, Maryland, Illinois, and California. These addenda address specific legal considerations and modifications to the standard agreement required by the franchise laws of those states.

For a prospective Kitchen Solvers franchisee, this means that the core terms of the Franchise Agreement are generally applicable unless an addendum specifically alters them for the franchisee's state. The addenda typically address issues such as waivers, governing law, and statutory rights, ensuring compliance with local regulations. For example, the Illinois addendum notes that Illinois law governs the Franchise Agreement and voids any provision designating jurisdiction or venue outside the state, although arbitration outside of Illinois is permitted.

It is important for a potential Kitchen Solvers franchisee to carefully review both the Franchise Agreement and any state-specific addenda to fully understand their rights and obligations. The interplay between the main agreement and the addenda determines the complete contractual relationship between the franchisee and Kitchen Solvers. Franchisees should pay close attention to clauses that are deleted or modified by the addenda, as these changes can significantly impact their legal rights and responsibilities.
