Does the Kitchen Solvers Development Agreement specify any conditions under which the franchisee can renew the term?

According to Kitchen Solvers's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Development Agreement is not subject to renewal. The term of the Development Agreement commences on the date the agreement is signed and concludes on the last Development Deadline of the Mandatory Development Schedule. This means that once the Development Agreement term ends, the franchisee does not have the option to extend it.

This is different from the standard Franchise Agreement, which, if the franchisee satisfies renewal requirements, allows the option to renew for up to two additional 10-year terms. To renew the Franchise Agreement, the franchisee must be in compliance with their Franchise Agreement, be current with all monetary obligations, attend any necessary training, and have continuously operated the business. They also must give notice, maintain or obtain suitable premises for the business (including modernization of sample doors, showcase display, and all materials displaying the Marks), sign a release, and sign a then-current Franchise Agreement, which may have materially different terms and conditions from the original agreement.

Because the Development Agreement cannot be renewed, prospective Kitchen Solvers franchisees should carefully consider the development schedule and ensure they can meet the obligations within the specified timeframe. Failing to meet these obligations could result in termination of the agreement and potential loss of development rights. This non-renewal aspect is a critical factor for anyone planning to expand their Kitchen Solvers business through a Development Agreement.
