What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cream's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, for the top 25% of locations, the median annual gross profit was $1,022,355. Gross Profit is defined as annual Net Sales less annual COGS (Cost of Goods Sold). This figure represents the midpoint gross profit amount for the highest-performing locations. It is important to note that this is a median, meaning half of the stores in the top 25% performed above this number, and half performed below.
It is important to understand that this is just one measure of financial performance. The FDD also provides data on net sales, COGS, direct labor, occupancy costs, and other operating expenses. A prospective franchisee should carefully review all of this information to get a complete picture of the potential financial performance of a Cream franchise.
Cream also includes a disclaimer that individual results may vary and there is no assurance that a franchisee will earn as much as the figures presented. The FDD also states that written substantiation for the financial performance representation will be made available to you upon reasonable request. A prospective franchisee should request this substantiation and carefully review it with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
