Is Recital D of the Kitchen Solvers Franchise Agreement deleted in its entirety by the Maryland Addendum?

According to the 2025 Kitchen Solvers Franchise Disclosure Document, the Maryland Addendum to the Kitchen Solvers Franchise Agreement does indeed address Recital D. Specifically, Item 4 of the addendum states that "Recital D of the Franchise Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety." This means that for Kitchen Solvers franchisees operating in Maryland, Recital D of the standard franchise agreement will not apply.

This deletion likely relates to specific legal considerations within Maryland's franchise laws. Addenda are often used to tailor franchise agreements to comply with state-specific regulations, ensuring that the agreement does not violate local laws or infringe upon franchisee rights as defined by the state.

Prospective Kitchen Solvers franchisees in Maryland should carefully review the entire Maryland Addendum in conjunction with the standard Franchise Agreement to fully understand their rights and obligations. They should also seek legal counsel to ensure they understand the implications of this deletion and how it affects their franchise operations within the state.
