What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Ben Jerrys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero franchises in Florida that were not renewed in 2024. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD outlines the status of franchised Satellite Scoop Shops from 2022 to 2024. For Florida in 2024, the 'Non-Renewals' column indicates 0.
This means that none of the Ben Jerrys franchise agreements in Florida expired and were not renewed during that year. However, the table also shows that the number of outlets in Florida decreased from 19 to 17 in 2024 due to 'Ceased Operations Other Reasons'.
Prospective franchisees should note that while franchise non-renewals can indicate brand issues, other factors like 'Ceased Operations' can also impact outlet numbers. It would be prudent to investigate the reasons behind the 'Ceased Operations' to understand the market dynamics in Florida better.
