What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Kitchen Solvers Franchise Disclosure Document, for franchisees residing in Wisconsin, Ch. 135, Stats., also known as the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law, takes precedence over any conflicting terms in the Franchise Agreement or related contracts. This means that if any part of the Kitchen Solvers agreement clashes with the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law, the state law will be the governing authority.
This protection is significant for prospective Kitchen Solvers franchisees in Wisconsin because it ensures that their rights as dealers are protected under state law. The Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law addresses various aspects of the franchise relationship, including termination, non-renewal, and changes in competitive circumstances.
Kitchen Solvers franchisees in Wisconsin also receive specific notification rights regarding termination, cancellation, or substantial changes in competitive circumstances. They are entitled to at least 90 days' prior written notice, which includes the reasons for the action and provides a 60-day period to address any deficiencies. However, if the reason for termination is nonpayment, the franchisee has only 10 days to resolve the issue.
