The Territory will be identified before you sign the Franchise Agreement and you may operate your KITCHEN SOLVERS® Business out of your home without obtaining our consent. When approving a Territory, we will consider local competition, population and character of the Territory, demographic surveys and customer information, the comparative advantages of a particular market and market penetration. A Territory will have a minimum of 85,000 owner occupied households. If you operate your KITCHEN SOLVERS® Business outside your home, you must provide a site for the showroom that meets our site selection guidelines and the showroom must be located in your Territory.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Kitchen Solvers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Kitchen Solvers grants franchisees a license to operate their Kitchen Solvers business within a specific territory. The FDD states that before a franchisee can operate their business, Kitchen Solvers will grant them a license to operate in a Territory.
The franchisee is responsible for locating a territory that meets Kitchen Solvers' standards and criteria, subject to Kitchen Solvers' approval. Kitchen Solvers may designate the boundaries of the territory. The FDD specifies that Kitchen Solvers will generally respond within 30 days of a franchisee's request for territory approval. A territory will have a minimum of 85,000 owner-occupied households.
If Kitchen Solvers does not approve the proposed territory, the franchisee can examine alternative search areas until both parties agree on the territory. The territory will be identified before the Franchise Agreement is signed. Franchisees can operate their Kitchen Solvers business out of their home without Kitchen Solvers' consent. However, if operating outside the home, the showroom must be located within the approved territory and meet Kitchen Solvers' site selection guidelines.
