What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cream's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 10 company-owned Cream outlets in Ohio at the start of 2024. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD details the number of outlets at the start and end of each year, as well as the changes that occurred during the year. This information is specific to each state where Cream has a presence.
For a prospective franchisee, this data indicates the existing company-owned presence of Cream in Ohio. It shows the level of investment and operational involvement Cream has in the state. The fact that there were 10 company-owned stores at the beginning of 2024, and that number remained the same at the end of the year, suggests a stable company-owned market in Ohio during that period.
It is important to note that this number reflects only company-owned stores and does not include any franchised locations. The FDD also includes projections for new company-owned outlets in Ohio for the upcoming fiscal year, which could indicate future growth plans for the brand in the state. Reviewing this data in conjunction with other sections of the FDD, such as Item 7 (Initial Investment) and Item 19 (Financial Performance Representations), can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the Cream's business model and potential opportunities in Ohio.
