What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Ben Jerrys Franchise Disclosure Document, the specific operator of a Ben Jerrys location on Brown Street in Dayton, OH, is not detailed. However, the FDD does provide information on the general requirements and structure for operating a Ben Jerrys Scoop Shop.
According to the FDD, the day-to-day operations of a Ben Jerrys Scoop Shop must be under the direct supervision of the franchisee (referred to as OPERATOR) or a manager who has satisfactorily completed Scoop U Training. If a franchisee has multiple Scoop Shops, each shop and its associated Authorized Warehouse must have a fully trained manager. This ensures that each location has competent and trained staff overseeing operations.
To become a Ben Jerrys franchisee, a prospective operator must go through an evaluation process, which includes submitting information for Ben Jerrys to evaluate their qualifications. As part of this process, the prospective operator must locate and submit proposed sites for a shop, providing a site evaluation package (SEP) with design, demographic, and cost factors. Ben Jerrys has the right to approve or disapprove the proposed site. Only after written approval of the site, including its preliminary design, can the prospective operator execute a lease or binding agreement to purchase the site. Therefore, the operator of the Ben Jerrys location on Brown Street in Dayton, OH, would be either a franchisee or a manager who has met Ben Jerrys' training and operational requirements.
