Where can I find the approximate dates that the franchisor spoke with Ben Jerrys franchisees?

According to the 2025 Ben Jerrys Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit P, titled "Franchisee Compliance Questionnaire and Certification," includes questions about the dates of certain documents received and fee payments made during the application process. This questionnaire aims to identify any unauthorized statements or promises made by Ben Jerrys employees or representatives.

Specifically, the questionnaire asks about the timing of receiving documents like the Franchise Disclosure Document, Franchise Agreement, or Development Agreement, as well as the dates of fee payments. Ben Jerrys emphasizes the importance of these dates in the franchise purchasing process.

Additionally, Item 12 in the FDD states, "I have spoken with current and former Ben & Jerry's franchisees, and I chose which franchisees, and how many franchisees, to speak with." While this item confirms that communication with existing and former franchisees occurs, it does not specify the exact dates of these conversations. A prospective franchisee should inquire directly with Ben Jerrys about the typical timeline and process for these communications to better understand when they might occur during the application process.
