What is the definition of 'Special Venue Scoop Shops' for Ben Jerrys?

As described below, we are offering franchises for Scoop Shops and Satellite Shops through this Disclosure Document. In April 2002, we began offering franchises for Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shops to be operated by individuals and businesses that operate as contract feeders and providers of food and other managed services to "Institutional Facilities." "Institutional Facilities" include airports, parks, stadiums, business and industrial complexes, theaters, museums, educational facilities, hospitals, and art centers (see Item 12 for additional information regarding Institutional Facilities). This Disclosure Document does not describe the franchise program offered to contract feeders and food service providers for Institutional Facilities, as that program is described in a separate Disclosure Document. We refer to these types of Scoop Shops as "Special Venue Scoop Shops."

As of December 31, 2024, there were 152 franchised Scoop Shops, 15 franchised Satellite Shops, 17 franchised Special Venue Scoop Shops, and 2 company-owned Scoop Shops located in 31 states, Canada, the Bahamas, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. We have not offered franchises in any other line of business.
