Who is the State Administrator for Kitchen Solvers franchise matters in Maryland?

The 2025 Kitchen Solvers Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) does not explicitly name the State Administrator for franchise matters in Maryland. However, it does state that the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law, Md. Code Bus. Reg. §§14-201 – 14-233, applies to the extent that it is relevant.

Several addenda to the Kitchen Solvers Franchise Agreement and Area Development Agreement address specific stipulations and legal rights afforded to franchisees under Maryland law. These addenda ensure that franchisees are not subjected to terms that waive their rights or limit the franchisor's liability under Maryland franchise law. For instance, franchisees retain the right to bring lawsuits in Maryland and benefit from a three-year statute of limitations for claims.

Prospective Kitchen Solvers franchisees in Maryland should be aware of these specific legal protections and how they modify the standard franchise agreement. To determine the exact State Administrator, it is recommended that potential franchisees consult directly with the franchisor or seek legal counsel familiar with Maryland franchise law.
