Does the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law supersede any inconsistent provisions in the Kitchen Solvers Franchise Agreement?

According to Kitchen Solvers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law does indeed supersede any conflicting terms within the Kitchen Solvers Franchise Agreement for franchisees residing in Wisconsin. This means that if any part of the agreement contradicts the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law (Ch. 135, Stats.), the state law will take precedence. This protection is specifically outlined in an addendum to the disclosure document tailored for Wisconsin franchisees.

This addendum also stipulates that Kitchen Solvers must provide Wisconsin franchisees with at least 90 days' prior written notice of termination, cancellation, or substantial changes in competitive circumstances. The notice must detail the reasons for such actions and allow the franchisee 60 days to correct any deficiencies. However, if the reason for termination is nonpayment, the franchisee has only 10 days to cure the deficiency.

This provision is a significant benefit for Kitchen Solvers franchisees in Wisconsin, as it provides additional legal protection and recourse beyond the standard franchise agreement. Franchisees should familiarize themselves with the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law to fully understand their rights and protections under this statute.
