What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Kitchen Solvers Franchise Disclosure Document, Wisconsin franchisees receive specific protections under the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law. Kitchen Solvers must provide at least 90 days' prior written notice of termination, cancellation, or substantial change in competitive circumstances. This notice must detail the reasons for the action and provide the franchisee 60 days to rectify any claimed deficiency.
If a Kitchen Solvers franchisee in Wisconsin fails to rectify the deficiency within the 60-day period, the notice of termination, cancellation, or substantial change in competitive circumstances will proceed. However, if the reason for the action is nonpayment of sums due, the franchisee is entitled to written notice of the default and has a shorter period of not less than 10 days to remedy the default.
It is important to note that Ch. 135, Stats., the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law, supersedes any conflicting provisions in the Franchise Agreement. This means that Kitchen Solvers franchisees in Wisconsin have additional legal protections beyond what is outlined in the standard franchise agreement.
