What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, Cream's landlord agrees to provide the tenant, at the tenant's sole cost and expense, with a panel on any pylon/monument/directory sign for the development in which the premises is located. The tenant is permitted to install a standard sign on that panel.
However, the sign must be approved by Cream, including, without limitation, Cream's logo. This means that while the landlord is providing the physical space for the sign, the design and content must adhere to Cream's brand standards.
This condition ensures that all signage is consistent with Cream's brand identity, maintaining uniformity across all franchise locations. The franchisee bears the cost of the sign and its installation, but Cream retains control over the sign's appearance.
