Kitchen_Solvers Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
For all franchisees residing in the State of Wisconsin, we will provide you at least 90 days' prior written notice of termination, cancellation, or substantial change in competitive circumstances. The notice will state all the reasons for termination, cancellation, or substantial change in competitive circumstances and will provide that you have 60 days in which to cure any claimed deficiency. If this deficiency is cured within 60 days, the notice will be void. If the reason for termination, cancellation, or substantial change in competitive circumstances is nonpayment of sums due under the franchise, you will have 10 days to cure the deficiency.
For Wisconsin franchisees, Ch. 135, Stats., the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law, supersedes any provisions of the Franchise Agreement or a related contract which is inconsistent with the Law.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Kitchen Solvers Franchise Disclosure Document, Wisconsin franchisees are entitled to 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 include all the reasons for the termination, cancellation, or substantial change.
The notice must also state that the franchisee has 60 days to cure any claimed deficiency. If the franchisee successfully addresses the deficiency within this 60-day period, the termination notice becomes void. However, if the reason for termination, cancellation, or substantial change is due to nonpayment of sums owed to Kitchen Solvers, the franchisee has a shorter period of only 10 days to cure the deficiency.
It is important to note that for Kitchen Solvers franchisees in Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law (Ch. 135, Stats.) takes precedence over any conflicting provisions in the Franchise Agreement or related contracts. This ensures that Wisconsin franchisees receive the full protection of the state law.
