For Cream franchises in the top 25% quartile, what was the median annual Net Profit?

According to Cream's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the median annual Net Profit for the top 25% quartile of Item 19 Shops was $298,015. The FDD clarifies that this data is based on the performance of corporate-owned Cream shops, as there were no franchised outlets operating as of the end of the most recent fiscal year. This financial performance representation is based on data from 83 corporate-owned shops that operated for the entirety of the 2024 calendar year.

It's important to note that only 38% of the Cream shops in the top 25% quartile had an annual Net Profit that met or exceeded the average annual Net Profit. This indicates a wide range of performance within even the top-performing group. The FDD defines Net Profit as annual Gross Profit, less Total Operating Expenses and Royalty and Brand Fund Contributions, expressed both as a dollar amount and as a percentage of Gross Profit.

Prospective franchisees should be aware that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Cream states explicitly in its FDD that there is no assurance that a franchisee will earn as much as the figures presented. Cream also clarifies that they do not make any representations about a franchisee's future financial performance or the past financial performance of company-owned or franchised outlets, and do not authorize their employees or representatives to make any such representations either orally or in writing.

Cream does state that written substantiation for the financial performance representation will be made available to you upon reasonable request. If a prospective franchisee receives any other financial performance information or projections of their future income, they should report it to Cream's management, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies.
