What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Kitchen Solvers's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee has the option to renew their franchise agreement for up to two additional 10-year terms, provided they satisfy certain renewal requirements.
Specifically, to renew their Kitchen Solvers franchise agreement, a franchisee must be in compliance with the existing Franchise Agreement. They must also be current with all monetary obligations owed to Kitchen Solvers. Furthermore, the franchisee is required to attend any necessary training programs that Kitchen Solvers may require at the time of renewal. The franchisee must also have continuously operated the Kitchen Solvers business.
In addition to these requirements, the franchisee must give Kitchen Solvers notice of their intent to renew. They must also maintain or obtain suitable premises for the business, which includes modernizing sample doors, showcase displays, and all materials displaying the Kitchen Solvers Marks. Finally, the franchisee must sign a release and a then-current Franchise Agreement, which Kitchen Solvers notes may have materially different terms and conditions from the original agreement. This last point is particularly important, as it means that renewal is not guaranteed on the same terms as the original agreement, and a franchisee should carefully review the new agreement before signing.
