Cream Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
As of December 31, 2024, there were a total of 87 corporate-owned Jeni's Ice Creams Scoop Shops operating in the United States. Of the 87 corporate-owned Jeni's Ice Creams Scoop Shops, 2 opened during 2024 and were not operating for the entirety of 2024, and 2 operated on a limited seasonal basis and therefore were not operating for the entirety of 2024. The data presented in this Item 19 is based
on the remaining 83 corporate-owned Jeni's Ice Creams Scoop Shops operating in the United States for the entirety of the 2024 calendar year (the "Item 19 Shops"). We had no franchised outlets operating as of the end of our most recent fiscal year and are therefore not able to present results for franchised outlets.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cream's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the financial performance data presented in Item 19 is based on corporate-owned Jeni's Ice Creams Scoop Shops operating in the United States. Specifically, the data is derived from 83 corporate-owned locations that were operating for the entirety of the 2024 calendar year.
Cream had a total of 87 corporate-owned Jeni's Ice Creams Scoop Shops as of December 31, 2024. However, the Item 19 data excludes two shops that opened during 2024 and two shops that operated on a limited seasonal basis.
Since Cream did not have any franchised outlets operating as of the end of its most recent fiscal year, the financial performance data in Item 19 does not include any information about franchised locations. A prospective franchisee should keep in mind that the financial performance of corporate-owned stores may not be representative of what a franchisee can expect to achieve.
