What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Kitchen Solvers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Addendum to the Franchise Agreement for the State of Wisconsin is included to ensure compliance with Wisconsin statutes and regulations. This addendum modifies the original agreement to align with Wisconsin law.
Specifically, the addendum addresses the 'Termination by Us' clause in Subparagraph 11.B of the agreement. It mandates that Kitchen Solvers provide franchisees in Wisconsin with at least 90 days' prior written notice before termination, cancellation, or any substantial change in competitive circumstances. This notice must detail the reasons for such actions and allow the franchisee 60 days to rectify any claimed deficiency. If the franchisee successfully addresses the deficiency within this period, the termination notice becomes void.
Furthermore, the addendum stipulates that in cases of termination, cancellation, or substantial change due to nonpayment, the franchisee is entitled to written notice of the default and must be given no less than 10 days to remedy the default from the date the notice is delivered or posted. This addendum ensures that Kitchen Solvers franchisees in Wisconsin receive adequate notice and opportunity to correct any issues before termination, aligning the franchise agreement with the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law.
