What specific sections of the Kitchen Solvers Area Development Agreement are deleted by the Maryland addendum?

According to the 2025 Kitchen Solvers FDD, the Maryland addendum to the Area Development Agreement specifically deletes sections 9.17.1, 9.17.5, and 19.7.3 of the agreement. Additionally, Paragraph E of the Background section of the Area Development Agreement is also deleted by the addendum.

This means that franchisees in Maryland operating under an Area Development Agreement will not be subject to the terms outlined in those specific sections. It is important for prospective Kitchen Solvers franchisees in Maryland to carefully review the Area Development Agreement in conjunction with the Maryland addendum to understand the full scope of their rights and obligations.

By deleting these sections, the Maryland addendum modifies the standard Area Development Agreement to comply with Maryland law. Prospective franchisees should consult with legal counsel to fully understand the implications of these deletions and how they may affect their rights and responsibilities under the Area Development Agreement.
