What evidence does Cream require to show that appropriate measures have been taken to effect the transfer as it relates to the fulfillment of your Development Rights?

According to Cream's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you are transferring your Development Rights, you must provide Cream with evidence that appropriate measures have been taken to effect the transfer as it relates to the fulfillment of your Development Rights. This includes transferring all necessary business licenses and material agreements, or obtaining new business licenses and material agreements.

This requirement ensures that the transferee is fully equipped to continue fulfilling the Development Rights, maintaining the standards and legal compliance necessary for operating Jeni's Ice Creams Scoop Shops. By requiring the transfer or acquisition of necessary licenses and agreements, Cream aims to minimize disruptions and ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities.

For a prospective Cream franchisee, this means that if you plan to transfer your Development Rights, you need to be prepared to document and demonstrate that all necessary legal and contractual obligations are being properly transferred or newly established with the transferee. This could involve significant administrative work and coordination to ensure compliance with Cream's requirements.
