We are a wholly owned subsidiary of our parent company, CMY Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (our "Parent"), which has its principal business address at 2601 Olive Street, Suite 1400, Dallas, Texas 75201. On October 1, 2020, our Parent acquired all or substantially all of the assets, including all franchise agreements, trademarks, service marks and other intellectual property that comprise the Card My Yard franchise system and the Card My Yard brand, from our predecessor entity, Card My Yard Franchising, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, and Card My Yard, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (collectively, our "Predecessor"), which maintained their principal business address at 3917 Double Dome Road, Austin, Texas 78734. In conjunction with the purchase and sale of our Predecessor's assets, we were established and granted the right to offer and sell franchises for Card My Yard businesses. Our Parent, Predecessor and affiliates do not guarantee any of our obligations to you and do not commit to performing any of our pre-sale or post-sale obligations.
Each Card My Yard franchise location conducts business under the trade name and trademark "Card My Yard". We do not own or operate any Card My Yard businesses, but our affiliate and Predecessor, Card My Yard, LLC, operated a Card My Yard business in Austin, Texas from September 2014 through September 2020, and our Parent began operating the "company-owned" Card My Yard business in Austin as of October 1, 2020. Effective October 1, 2020, Card My Yard, LLC changed its name to Joy Works, LLC. Joy Works, LLC does not currently operate any Card My Yard businesses, does not offer franchises of any kind, and does not conduct other business activities.
We began offering franchises for Card My Yard businesses in October 2020, and our Predecessor offered Card My Yard franchises from June 2017 to September 2020 under its own disclosure document. Our Predecessor has not engaged in any other business activities besides offering and supporting franchises for Card My Yard businesses, and it has never offered franchises in any other lines of business.
In March 2024, we had a change of ownership and our Parent was acquired by FS PEP Holdco, LLC. This created additional affiliations through other companies under the same ownership of FS PEP Holdco, LLC. As a result of this transaction, we are under common control with the entities named below.
